| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Sep 24, 2007 This might not be terrible on its own, but side by side with real German marzens, it is terrible and nearly undrinkable. Metal and grass in the aroma, and more of the same in the flavor. Orange with a tall white head, making the appearance its best quality. nickspies (76), Omaha, Nebraska, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 24, 2007 Very fresh aroma, which is to be expected since it just came out and Colorado is close by. Not much malt in the nose though. Beautiful copper color with a light brown head. Typical head retention for an Oktoberfest, however excellent lacing. More sucrose than maltose taste, not much else. Chewy and full-bodied. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Sep 24, 2007 On Draft @ Sunset Grill with the Mad_Indian. Pours iced tea colored with an average size white head. Aroma of caramel, sweetness, and slight toast. The flavor is sweet, caramel, lightly toasted, with a somewhat thin and watery body. pineypower (1095), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 23, 2007 Pours out light copper/orange color with a moderate white head. Aroma is malty with slight caramel. Slightly watery mouthfeel. Overall I don’t really like this style, but this was rather drinkable. Cletus (5055), Connecticut, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 23, 2007 Pours amber with a white head. Smells of pepper, caramel, some citrus. Tastes of caramel, pepper, spice, some tea, biscuits. Mouthfeel is slick and oily with a sweet finish. Closer to a German Oktoberfest than many of the other American examples I’ve tried.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 23, 2007 Sampled with Stegosaurus during our second Boston Tour. Served at Sunset Grill. Clear copper pour with mild malt aroma. Thin in body and taste. There was a mild bitter hop finish but I was not impressed. badgerben (3599), Blaine, Minnesota, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 21, 2007 Copper color with a thin head. Caramel aroma. The caramel turns slightly sour in the taste. A bit of corn and grain. Kinda blah. Eladerman (53), Newburgh, Indiana, USA
