clear amber, fine beige head, scattered lace,
bready aroma with a touch of sweet munich malt,
rich malt flavor, bready munich character is quickly countered with lots of earthy hops, sweetness comes from behind and brings out the bready quality,

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | 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. SledgeJr (2963), Omaha, Nebraska, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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. Suttree (2734), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Oct 23, 2004 Copper, like a new penny, soupy white head. Mildly sweet, spicy aroma. Surprisingly hoppy flavor. Faint notes of caramel and bread, but a real hop presence throughout. A bit thin bodied, as well. Nicely drinkable, but rather mundane. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA

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. decaturstevo (1997), decatur, Tennessee, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 15, 2006 On tap Knox Brewers Jam. A dark amber pour with a slight clinging lace. An ok beer for what it is just not enough flavor or palate to suit me. A slight off bitter finish. Not a bad beer but not one of my favorites. tronraner (1933), Seymour, Tennessee, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | 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. emacgee (1891), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 20, 2007 Draught at Bean and Barrel. Pours a brownish orange with a thick creamy off white head. Leaves a lace. The aroma is lightly sweet, malty,caramel, and toffee. The flavor has much more of a hop profile than I usually expect. Shows some sweetness, caramel, hop bite, more malt as it warms. Palate was waxy with a mellow carbonation.
