Sep 6, 2007 Updated: Sep 10, 2007Draft at Norfolk airport 2003. Typical golden lager color with a small head that tries to last. Aroma is not much, maybe some spicy honey. Taste is a nice balance of lemony-bitter herbs and honey malt. Light-bodied and watery with a good hop tingle. Not my first choice, but quite often a good substitute for the ales that were tapped out.

does not count  Mar 9, 2007 This beer pours a slightly cloudy golden color, with a thin white head. The head fades quickly, leaving a small puddle of head floating on the top.
This beer has a sweet caramel malty aroma. I detect a slight citrus aroma as well. Nothing too strong, just a clean mild aroma. It also smells slightly grainy.
This beer tastes much like it smells. Sweet malt upfront. It has a crisp, clean citrus flavor. A slightl grainy flavor is alsp present.
This beer is crisp and refreshing. It goes down smooth, leaving a sweet malty aftertaste.
This beer would probably make a great session beer. It is not too high in alcohol. Also, it has a nice mild flavor.
Overall: Thanks go out to ggaughan for hooking me up with this beer.

Feb 18, 2007 Bottle. Amber colour with a fair head. Malty and caramellic aroma. Flavour of malt, bit toasty, caramel, some hops. Mild bitterish finish. Good brew.

Jul 19, 2006 (12 oz bottle: Obtained 06-May-06 in trade with Otter, thanks Jeremy!) An old favorite from when I lived in the DC area and commuted daily to the Foggy Bottom area of DC, this is a nice standby beer. It’s balanced, flavorful, enjoyable and under appreciated. Malty, caramely, moderately sweet, and mildly bitter flavor has a pleasant toastiness and some honey toward the finish. Body and carbonation are medium. The nose is noticeably more grainy and less sweet or toasty than the flavor. Medium-dark amber color is only a little hazy, and the light-tan head pours to half an inch before settling to a wide ring. Only spotty lacing though. Too bad that the resurrection of this historic District brewing tradition is over because this is, err, was a really nice Maërzen.

Jun 12, 2006 Poured an amber to copper color with a decent initial head that laced ok. The aroma was of caramel. The flavor was caramel with some hops (somewhat like an amber ale), and as it warmed a dry spicey-hops (not typical marzen spicing, more peppery) type finish. Dry mouthfeel was the signature of this one and it didn’t remind me much of a marzen style beer, like the label says.
