Mar 29, 2009 A very lightly hopped, slightly sweet, copper-colored, clean and refreshing example. I expected a little less attenuation, maybe a little more complexity, but not complaining - it leave room for seconds!(!)

Mar 15, 2009 Wish I hadn’t waited so long to drink this - not that it’s gone bad by any means, but I do wonder if the underplayed hops might have been slightly more "vibrant" or not. Good beer, easily drinkable, nice maltyness. I’ll take the BalOberfest over the TexObers that I’ve tried.

Mar 15, 2009 Nice beer that is pleasantly fruity. I didn’t detect any octoberfest flavors in this one. I liked that. I hate octoberfests. Much more lively and fruity than the style would suggest. I’d drink it again.

Jan 21, 2009 Crystal orange coloured body with a super thin white head and no bubbles to speak of. Aroma of alcohol, malt, some curacao and a bit of spice. Medium-bodied; Medicinal flavour up front, fading to a malty mouthful with subtle spices and a tiny bit of sugar taste. Aftertaste mellows out after a while and leaves a bit of maltiness. Overall, a wierd marzen - not the typical oktoberfest beer, but some spice and malt still definitely noticeable. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 08-July-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Jan 11, 2009 Bottle sample at the Blacklick Wine and Spirits tasting on 1/8/09. Clear amber with a thin white head. Malty caramel aroma. Caramel malt flavor with a nice balance of hops.

Dec 20, 2008 Expires in January. Neutral aroma, little head on medium yellow. Mouthfeel above average, a little fruity in beginning and a tad smokey taste in the finish. Nothing special, quaffable. Average and reasonable for style, would not seek out again. Caramel, a tad of sweetness. Carbonation is suitable.
