Dec 4, 2005 Dave had at Tyler’s. Metallic smell, but not metallic taste. Flat taste and one dimensional. Pretty bitter.

Nov 5, 2005 Draught at Tyler’s in Chapel Hill. Deep amber color with thin off white head. Subtle spicy hop aroma and flavor with a hint of caramel. Moderate carbonation which I thought was appropriate. Decent grainy aftertaste.

Oct 19, 2005 On tap at Barley’s I was impressed at first with a nice aroma, and a distict head. Mouthfeel was a little overcarbonated, and the first taste was of very slight diacytel. The finish was lacking however, the beer ended in a flat cardboardy taste, where I really wanted a lingering maltiness. A perfectly drinkable beer, just dissapointed right at the end.

Copper body with a fleeting white head.
Slight hop aroma that is mirrored in the dry hop bite of the flavor. A bit off style, lacking a good malty backbone, but there are no real problems with this beer other than style.

Oct 15, 2005 (Knoxville Brewers’ Jam). Pours cloudy orange with thin white ehad. The aroma is butterscotch, leaves, and zest. The flavor is grapefruit, leaves, pine, soap, and old hops in the finish. Mediocre.

Oct 10, 2005 This is far from what I would call the best Asheville has to offer (even if you just look at French Broad Brewing Co.) I did enjoy this beer in season and liked its smooth feel. If you don’t like it, please don’t give up on Asheville and its breweries.

Jan 2, 2005 On tap at Barley’s Taphouse in Asheville. Amber with white lacing. Low carbonation. very buttery taste. A smooth beer, but a little dark for a true german fest bier these days. I’m not sure how this differs from the regular FB marzen since it was not available to me.
