Amber color, nice foam top, drinkable Marzen. Rastacouere (5564), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 17, 2008 Objectively speaking:
A clean lager that fails to be memorable.
I like:
Agreeable toastiness surrounds the nose. Rather bright effervescence suffers a bit from the butterscotchy oiliness. Gently leafy hop closure.
I dislike:
Not as refreshing as it could be. Rather sweet all around. Not so bright malt flavours extration. MartinT (5068), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 13, 2008 My Bottom Line:
Toasted malts cover lightly fruity and herbal hops in this dryish and drinkable Oktoberfest.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the hazy deep amber.
-A touch of diacetyl is perceived in the nose, but it doesn’t appear in the flavor profile.
-The hops’ fruitiness is akin to citrus pulp at times.
-The mouthfeel is healthy and the flavor profile clean.
-Hops contribute lackluster bitterness in the finish.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Aug 9, 2006 Bottle from Florian’s Market in Auburn. One of the first bottles of ’06 pours a dark golden amber with a hint of brown. Sweet malt and biscuit nose. Flavors are pretty standard german style, buttery and saltine-like flavors. Bitter aftertaste that as my sister called it "bad". I think it’s an average beer, not one i’d seek out again, but it’s still not horrid either. BigBen2120 (688), Derry, New Hampshire, USA

A little sour, svery buttery, I’ll agree with the other folks who’ve rated this, but I guess that’s not so bad... I think some diacetyl (sp?) crept into this brew... Not something I’lll get often, but not bad overall....
