| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 21, 2009 Bottle. Clear amber, thin head. Not much for an aroma, overly malty taste, mild hops. Cheap at the supermarkets and it’s better than bud.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | 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. ksbeerkid (15), Emporia, Kansas, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 4/5 | 8/20 | 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! BrewingFan (74), Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 22, 2009 On tap in New Orleans. Aroma is a little weak and nutty, medium to heavy sweetness. It won’t blow you away but I like it. Note, I am a little biased towards Oktoberfests, this is a slighty above average beer in my book. lithy (1687), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

| 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 (1808), bankrupt socialistwelfare state, Washington DC, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 29, 2009 Clear amber color with a fleeting head. Malty spicy cinnamon sweetbread aromas. Medium body. Mild malty sweetbread yeasty flavors with some fall spices. Elwood (677), Leesburg, Virginia, 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.
