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.

Dec 23, 2009 Not bad. Pour was a medium clear red oak. Some head that went away slowly. The aroma was sweet with hints of caramel. The flavor was smooth. Well balances. But a little harsh on the after taste.

Dec 19, 2009 Pours a brown tan head. Light smell of malts and walnuts. Light brown in color with small carbonation bubbles. taste of sweet malts and grains. Has a sweet and lingering after taste something similar to bannanas. not a bad beer for the spring time.

Dec 13, 2009 In Bottle; OK beer. Was recommended at a local store. I found it quite grainy/cereal like in taste. It was easy to drink but would not buy again.

Dec 6, 2009 On tap at the Rockville location: Transparent bright copper pour has a thin ring of off-white bubbles. Has a lightly sweet caramely malty nose with a touch of noble hops. Starts with good body and a light caramel and toffee sweetness with some light fruity flavors and noble hop bitterness before a drier bittersweet finish. Pretty true to style.

Dec 4, 2009 A Spicy kick accentuates this beer. This is an easy-drinking beer with a nice blend of the hops and malt. I don’t think I could make this too much of a session beer, which a good Märzen should be.

Nov 30, 2009 Had this in Miami. Amber pour. Boring malty and light hops aroma. Flavor is a bit stale, with cereal grain and caramel. Meh.

Nov 30, 2009 Had this on tap in KC and did not care for it at all. aroma was earthy and slightly alcoholy to me. Taste was something i can’t pinpoint but i didn’t enjoy it, kind of bitter i guess. If this is their most popular beer i will not be going back for more!
