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.

Sep 20, 2007 Pours a clear amber color with a fairly small, eggshell shite, pillowy head leaving no lacing. Nose is toasted caramel, roasted nuts, and sweet bread. Flavor is similar with rich toasted caramels, light toffee, and nutty sweet bread notes. Palate is light to medium, lively, and crisp, maybe a bit viscous. Finishes sweet with rich caramel and almonds. Richer than most of its German counterparts but lacks their drinkability. Nice change of pace as far as Ofests go but almost too swee for its own good.

Sep 19, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a moderate off-white head that faded before mid-glass. Pleasant aroma of caramel. Flavor was caramel, lightly sweet, with a bit of hops at the finish. Medium bodied with a smooth finish. Above average oktoberfest beer.

Sep 18, 2007 Bottle. Overall this, like many of the Oktoberfest beers I’ve had so far this season are just okay. Nothing bad about this beer, aroma of grass with malts. Flavor is about the same, with a touch of hops in there.

Sep 18, 2007 On draught at speakeasy 9/17/07. Pours a hazy copper with a little head that fades immediately. Aroma is malty and slightly bready. Typical marzen flavor--I’ve only had about 3 marzens this year and I’m already getting sick of the flavor. yada yada yada, not my favorite style.

Sep 17, 2007 This marzen pours a medium orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel and toffee, a touch fruity and sweet as well. A medium to lighter bodied marzen. The malts are caramel and fruity. The hops are slightly spicy and a touch earthy. Nice balance. Lively carbonation. Kind of a milder tasting marzen, it seems a touch thin tasting at times. Mouthfeel is a little thin. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with some lingering caramel flavors.
