| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 2, 2008 Draft at the brewpub (Phoenix location). Poured a clear medium orange color. Head was off white with good retention. Some lace was left behind at the end. The aroma was of noble and grassy hops, brown sugar, and toffee. Delicately sweet up front with a dried and slightly bitter finish (bitterness peaked at about 3 out of 10). The flavor palate included dominant grassy hop, subdued molasses, brown sugar elements. Pretty good. SledgeJr (2966), Omaha, Nebraska, USA

Very similar to the GB Märzen, but with a little more heat. Maybe a bit of lingonberry to the aroma? unclemattie (2432), Georgia, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 8, 2006 Draft @ Broomfield, CO location: Yellow orange. Fine, dense white foam. Toasted malts produce straw and toffee aromas. Carbonation is soft and creamy but also fairly acidic. Quite grainy, initially, but beautifully rounded with a toasted biscuit sweetness. Malt is quite chewy and also hints at fresh hay which supports the staunch toastiness. Deep candied malt sweetness alleviates the slightly mushy body. Persistently sweetly malty but well-attenuated finish remains layered with toffee, toast, and straw. Despite the acidic carbonation, high level of filtration, and slightly flimsy body, this is a delightfully clean and bready example. Rather pleased with this.
