Winterfest 2008. Not bad for a marzen. Typical copper color with white head and a grainy nose. A little bit of toasted character.

On draught during the Winterfest 2008 in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and thin white ring. Aroma of multi-grain malt, light citrus zest with a touch of white grape juice. Taste is medium bodied, lots of carbonation with flavors of light multi-grain malt, some light citrus and some crisp light fruit. Finish is slightly metallic a little grainy with a clean cut aftertaste flavor.

Pours a light amber with a thinnign head. Aroma is sweet clean caramel malts, nutty with mild light munich and viena malts. Toasted malt flavor with a hoppy noble spiciness- and a bit pretzel-like. Crisp clean finish- doughy and malty. Nice marzen.

Draft at Herkimer. A beautiful deep ruby color. Wheaty and malty aroma is faint. Slightly sweet but no significant malt flavors... Really, not much flavor at all. A light, session-beer type Marzen.

On draft at the brewpub. Deep orange with a tiny head. Wheaty aroma with some interesting malt to it. A little roasted in the flavor. Lighter than most marzen’s. Nothing overly impressive, but not that terrible.

Dark orange color with a little head. Grainy aroma with a bit of wheat. Very ’grain-silo-ish’ in the taste. A little sweet, but not too much. Not a great example of the style, but enjoyable.

Amber Coloring. Some Roasted Malt and a Pinch of Hops.. Fairly Sweet.. but Nothing Special...Better Offerings to Drink and Enjoy.

Some lacing on a crystal clear bronze body. Slightly smoother and definitely more malty than their other regular offerings. Yet the aroma for almost all of them contained something curious--vanilla?--that by the time I got to this one I began to suspect either a "house style" or a line problem or a dishwasher issue. The bitterness here was mid and front of palate, more metallic.
