Sweet and spicy, with a nice copper color and a very smooth aftertaste. Very drinkable. Not my favorite beer of all time, but I definitely look forward to it every year.

Excellent flavor and color. Full body and complex presentation of malts. Very good overall - another Fat Head's beer on tap!

Perhaps it is because of my limited samples that I like this brewery’s beer so much. Perhaps it would wear on me. THis is my favorite Maerzen, with the sole exception of Burgerbrau. I think the two are comparable, however. Each is light, with a candy (but totally uncaramelized) malt sweetness and beautifully managed hops. I dig.

12 oz bottle from Beer World of Largo <P> The aroma presents grassy hops and loads mild caramel malt as it warms. Rich amber in color with a perfect thumb thick, quite lasting, creamy white head. The sweet fore is smooth with malts and even some mild nutty notes and a bit of toffee throw in. Very lively, tongue tickling carbonation. It’s pretty damn tasty and has a great feel to it. Damn nice beer.

Pleasantly surprising. Nice copper color, sweet, roasted, clean flavor, quite refreshing with wings.

The dark copper beer pours with a thin, off-white head. It displays average retention, and fades to a thin layer of foam. The aroma is very strong on malt sweetness, with a hint of alcohol. The taste is almost all malt, with caramel, roasted malt, and just a hint of hop bitterness. The beautiful sweetness caresses the tongue, while the piney hops clean the palate. The mouthfeel is full and robust, almost feels like you could chew this beer. Just a hint of malt alcohol sweetness lingers on the finish.

Cool Mardi Gras/St. Patricks day label. A light copper color with a tan head. A mildly sweet pleasant aroma. An excellent beer. A slight caramel, sweet taste with a slightly sour finish. Really well done and very good.

Overall a nice tasting beer.Pours a beautiful dark copper color.Caramel smell . I loved this beer the first time i tried it at the brewery but what hurts this beer not for me but other people is the alcohol,4.5%. People are looking for real strong alcoholic beers.Try this beer and you will not be disappointed.
