Aug 17, 2009 12oz screw-top bottle from the local Hannaford. Pours a hazy amber-brown with virtually no head. Smells fruity and malty, with a hint of hops. Tastes initially fruity and slightly hoppy, then has a caramel-toffee flavor. Medium to light in body with moderate carbonation. A fairly easy drinker, a decent American amber...

Jul 31, 2009 The Otter Creek rep was at Max’s on Broadway in Baltimore and was pouring free samples of this stuff. Fairly light yellow orange pour with a thin white head. Aroma was a bit malty. This beer was pretty fresh and had a nice crisp note to it. Pretty decent Marzen, but nothing to write home about.

Jun 11, 2009 [2104-20090419] 12floz bottle. Grainy motor oil cardboard aroma. Clear, amber orange body with a quick foamy off-white head. Weird leaves graininess in the flavour with weird notes of toasted cardboard. Medium body. Fair.

Apr 22, 2009 2009-04-19. orange amber body with a small white head. tangy aroma, hops and dry malt. Flavour is a touch oxidized with some stale notes over otherwise pleasant dry malt and toasty notes. Meh, allowing for the fact that it is likely a step better fresher its still pleasantly average.

Mar 23, 2009 Updated: Sep 30, 2009Bottle. Simple with some malt sweetness. A hint of roast and spice with some mossy undertones. Not great. Tap: Still simple. Not any bad flavors but does still have this green lingering flavor.

Feb 5, 2009 I was at a wedding in Vermont and it was this or Coors Light (gag me) so I drank a metric shitload of this stuff. It’s not bad, but far from good. Golden-amber color with a white head. Aroma of sweet malt and muted hops, some earthiness. Typical Oktoberfest malt character and noticeable hops. Palate is a little watery. An easy choice if it’s this or Coors, but not such an easy choice if good (or even average) beers are available.

Dec 24, 2008 Poured a clear golden/amber with an average head. Some malt sweetness up front and then a slight bitterness. An Ok brew, nothing special.
