Nov 1, 2007 (35.5cl bottle, 5.2% abv, with thanks to Hildigöltur & Dixen !) Clear, amber to copper colour with a mid-sized, beige foamy head. Sweet toast-malty nose with notes of cacao, toffee and marzipan. Sweet toasty malty, slightly bready taste with caramel/toffee and a very subtle citrus-fruity touch; medium to light bodied with a lively carbonation; sweet and slightly bitter, malt-accented finish with a light hops-character. Decent Märzen, funny name.

Oct 29, 2007 The malt, yeast, and hop aromas all resembled the style. The pour lacks carbonation but maintains a nice hop lace. The flavor is clean but lacks the malt roundness the better German examples provide. Its dry, sulfury finish resembles a Dortmunder. Overall it exemplifies the style fairly well but lacks greatness.

Oct 29, 2007 Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of cookie and nutty, light hops and yeast notes of grass and dough, with a little brown sugar in the background. Head is creamy, slightly off white with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is red/brown. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic then finishes lightly acidic and bitter and just a touch sour. Palate is light to medium, between watery and a little creamy and has lively carbonation. Nice aroma but a little weak in taste. There are a lot better Octoberfests out there.

Oct 27, 2007 12 ounce bottle. Shaker glass. Amber with a thin head. Light malty aroma. Taste was sweet malt and caramel with some hops and perhaps a hint of spice. Nothing spectacular, but highly drinkable.

Golden with a small, white head.. Dry and malty aroma.
A lot of malty sweetness, butterscotch. Grassy hoppiness.

Oct 26, 2007 (Bottled) Clear amber with a small head. Grainy-malty aroma with toffee and some diacetyl, plus tiny hints of alcohol. Toffee-malty, somewhat roasty-ashy flavor with medium bitterness and hints of sourness. Medium-bodied with soft carbonation. A diacetylic, but malty Märzen. For some reason, I was expecting an aromatic-hoppy brew.
