Dec 31, 2004 Clear amber/copper coloured body with a crimson hue and a thinnish light tan coloured head that lasts long. Aroma of mushrooms, caramel, toffee, raisins and must-wierd, but nice. Light to Medium-bodied; Spicey hops hit up front with a good malty backbone and a suble spice and a good toffee flavour that lasts for a long time. Aftertaste shows the bittering hops and some of the lighter spices. Overall, a nice beer to try, definitely better than some other marzens and beers from Legend. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased today, 31-December-2004 at Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia.

Oct 30, 2004 Pours a beautiful clear reddish amber with a monstrous beige head. Aroma is very malty with a hint of sourness. Taste is perfectly sweet with notes of caramel, roasted malt, brown sugar, pilsnery hops and that trademark Legend sour tinge which works quite well. Mouthfeel is full and round. Has much more body than other Oktoberfests I’ve had. Has an unreal silky smoothness to it, very nice. Great lacing and head retention. This brewery is very underrated IMO. Great stuff.

Oct 11, 2004 Rich malty nose. Clear burnt orange color with a nice slightly off-white head. Crisp caramel apple flavor with a touch of tangy-ness. Mouthfeel is a little bit sticky, but the aftertaste is nicely bitter. Overall, a very enjoyable beer.

Oct 8, 2004 Amber-orange, big, puffy head. Nose lightly malty, some caramel, pleasingly toasty bread. Good biscuity malts, has a very pleasant sweet stickiness to it with a caramel undertone. Finishes with a darn pleasing hop bite. Excellent palate, some richness, coats the mouth very well. This is the kind of beer that makes me think I might like Oktoberfests after all.

Sep 29, 2004 Amber in color with a rather large, pillowy head. Nice aroma of pie crust or baking bread. Mild yeasty and grape notes in the aroma. Very bready/pie cursty flavor with notes of grape and pear struggling through. Very mouth watering. Body suffers a trifle - a little thin, but not too bad. A very nice beer.
