Draught. Pours a darky brown with a mild head. Pretty average Oktoberfest for my money.

Amber color; creamy head. There is some caramel in this brew, and correct bitterness. Not bad, but plain.

Nov 21, 2009 12 bottle. Filtered glowing amber orange-red color. Respectable enough head fades down to a thin, soapy beige layer on top. Mild amber malt aroma. Medium bodied and relatively straightforward, there is a nice balance between the medium dark malts and the smooth, light bitterness. Certainly on the bitter side of the Oktoberfest spectrum tastewise. The solid ABV and malty body stays with you in the aftertaste. Less malt dominated than most Okts, giving it a sight West Coast feel. A nice interpretation of the style.

Nov 20, 2009 THOUGHTS: Decent märzen. Very malty, but slightly cloying. It could use a little more hops to balance it a little better.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, medium copper with beautiful carbonation and a small to average, off-white head that mostly diminished leaving good lacing. The aroma was fine, but weak. There was moderate to heavy dark bread, toasted and caramel malts; light grassy hops, light maple syrup, stewed fruit, slight lemon and a little fruitiness. The initial flavor was sweet, lightly acidic and slightly bitter; while the finish was rather sweet, slightly acidic and slightly sour and bitter with an average duration. There was caramel malt, a little citrus, a little dark toasted bread, light hops, fruit, a little nuts and a hint of chocolate. The medium body was a little syrupy with fizzy carbonation and a lightly astringent and slightly metallic finish.

Nov 10, 2009 Bottle. Pours a pumpkin color with a small creamy tan-colored head. Aromas of sweet malt, fruity yeast, raisins, and dates. Sweet malts, ripe berries, and a touch of alcohol lead to biscuits and hazelnuts, with a slightly bitter finish. Nothing astounding, but pretty good, and very drinkable.

Nov 6, 2009 Pretty good. YOu have to drink at back of mouth, or you will get a bitter flavor. If you can do this you get a rich carmel type flavor, sweet and enjoyable. Nice beer. I’ll look for it again.
