| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 29, 2008 Aroma is slightly caramelly, with whiff of grassiness. Appearance is a bit cloudy, orange-gold with a thin head. Flavor starts with that touch of caramel, mellows to multigrain bread, and finishes with a restrained hop note. Palate is medium--appropriate for a Marzen. Overall, a nice example of one of my favorite styles. BeerGestapo (740), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 26, 2008 Clear orange amber, and the small white head disappears fast. Plastic and slight diacetyl mar what is otherwise a simple malty aroma. Slick oily mouthfeel and low carbonation. Thin, insubstantial body makes it a typical bar beer. A little plastic but slight. Sweet malt predominates. Low level of complexity. Some breadiness. scraff (1955), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 15, 2008 Bottle – Perfect Pour. Clear light amber, creamy white head. Toasted sweet caramel malt nose warms to honey bread notes and faint hints of pepper. Grainy toasted caramel flavor rounds with slight saaz hop finish. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Decent, but nothing spectacular here… TheCaptain (559), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA
