Nov 15, 2007 Beautiful red pour with a medium head and lacing. Nice malt and grain aroma. Very sweet malt flavor with a hearty body that ends a little bitter sweet.

Nov 10, 2007 12 oz bottle-Trade w/pepsican. Pours a clear amber color w/a slight head & good lacing. Roasted malt aroma. Flavors of roasted malt, toffee, caramel, & bread dough. Solid, easy drinking brew, more of an everyday drinking Amber Lager (they call it a Lager), not one of those special, one off, Oktoberfests. Very Yuenglingish! Definite session brew, slight bitter finish. Thanks for this one Andy!

Oct 28, 2007 This is a good lager. Amber color. Dry, medium bodied malt flavor with some caramel. I thought it was more of a Vienna than a marzen.

Sep 25, 2007 On tap at the Thirsty Troll Brewfest
If there was a theme to this festival it would be "oktoberfest/marzen". Almost everybody had one including Millstream. This was one of only two beers they had to offer so I saved it for last. It’s not the best example I have had but it would be ideal for quenching a thirst.
Aroma / Appearance - Malt and caramel take the guise of wet leaves blended with cereal grains. A semitransparent copper body sat peacefully in the glass below a dirty offwhite head.
Flavor / Palate - A full bodied infusion of caramel give it some kick before an earthiness took over. A hint of bitterness was just enough to keep it in check. I wasn’t blown away by what it had to offer but it got the job done. This is probably an average benchmark by which to compare other marzens.

Sep 18, 2007 Clear deep amber-copper color, just a bit towards the brown side. Slight head, minimal lace, absent any real aroma. Decent caramel malt flavor and easy to drink, but there is a spice and alcohol presence (both of which linger into the aftertaste) that seem a bit out of place.

Sep 14, 2007 Amber color with lively carbonation. Light caramel and roasted notes. Fizzy light bitterness in the finish. Just o.k

Aug 9, 2007 12 ounce bottle. Shaker glass. Cloudy amber with a thin head. Aroma was light malt and caramel. Taste was slightly bitter to start, but smoothed as it warmed, with notes of malt and caramel. Nicely balanced, but nothing really stood out.
