Now this was a pretty good octoberfest brew. pours a nice orange color with a roasted taste and a nice balance of hoppy finish.

a greenshields beer that i actually liked believe it or not. it was rich and malty and it was a very drinkable marzen. not too sweet thank god. orange color with a nice sweet aroma. very good marzen. sampled at brewgrass 04 on draught.

Nice malty flavor. Roasted taste, blends chocolate and caramel well. Mild, smooth hop flavor. Pumpkin colored and not cloudy. Best that I have yet to have at Greenshield’s.
