| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Sep 3, 2005 The new style of Oktoberfest to please the american influenced youth of Oktoberfest. Pale color, bland flavor, malty sweet, well carbonated, light head (more liquid beer per glass), very lightly hopped. Sightly warming, light but lingering finish. It’s not a bad beer, for light lagers. But the point is, why? I much prefer the old vienna red old marzens. I had it on draft downtown at the Bodega in La Crosse. MiP (9157), Sønderborg, Denmark

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Aug 20, 2005 This is not a bad beer. It’s smooth, with a slight bitter after taste that does not disappoint. Alot of warmth in this fall beer! I think a 1.9 is a little harsh. jfm (1694), Holbæk, Denmark
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Jul 3, 2005 Bottle. Golden color with no head. The taste is a full malty body with a balanced hoppy flavour. jgb9348 (2515), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jun 12, 2005 Super clear blondish coloured body with a tiny orange tint and a nice white head. Wierd colour for the style - very light - but still looks acceptable. Aroma of malt, cardboard, nuts, raisins, cherries and some light spices. Medium-bodied; Spicey flavour with nuts and malt most prevalent. Aftertaste hits hard - bitter up front with some sweeter tastes lingering behind. Overall, not a great beer and too bitter & malty for me. Not close enough to the style that I’m used to, but its worth drinking if you appreciate more of a malty, spicery marzen. I sampled this 12 ounce bottle purchased at Total Wine in McLea, Virginia on 01-March-2005.
