| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Bottled in San Jose, CA on: 08/12/09 at 09:52. My, how precise!
Appearance: Pours out a clear, golden-amber body with a modestly-sized, somewhat fizzy, white head.
Smell: Toasty, lightly sweet-smelling nose with slighter notes of light caramel, fruit, and spicy hops.
Taste: Sweetish Pils malts and toasty-tasting Munich malts graciously supplemented with a few extra oven-toasted bread crusts. Very small hint of light caramel sweetness. There’s a vague hint of fruit in the distant background. Proper Noble hops provide a zesty spiciness and a light, complimentary bitterness. Finishes dry, lightly bitter, and fairly crisp.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium-plus carbonation.
Drinkability: A decent, acceptable lil’ O-fest with just the right amount of maltiness, hoppiness, and overall drinkability. AmEricanbrew (1929), orange, California, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 25, 2009 Serving: Draft.
Appearance: Golden orange color with a small, foamy, white head.
Aroma: Mild nose with toasted malt and floral notes.
Flavor: Sweet maltiness with toasted notes and a decent, crisp hop bite.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium-short finish.
Overall: Based on the ratings, I am guessing this one is much better on draft. While it wasn’t anything spectacular, it was a solid Marzen in my mind. JediMindTricks (240), Hampton, Virginia, USA
