Mug @ Desert Ridge Location Phoenix, AZ. Malt and spice aroma and also a noticable keg metal on the nose. Amber body with off white head. More malt in body flavor as it wasn’t an over spicey bitter octoberfest beers like many I’ve had. Decent bew as far as style for me.

Draft mug from on tap at the brewpub - This one pours a dark mahogany brew with a tan head of lasting foam and a distinctly caramel aroma. Tastewise, this a slight, watered-down marzen, alright but nothing to sing about.

Very nice interpretation of the style,,,big robust caramel sweetness, with touches of bread dough and molasses and a very light hop profile in the distant background. Light lager mouthfeel and light alcohol presence makes these very repeatable and thirst-quenching. Nicely brewed and satisfying drink.

Pours a clear orange amber with an inch or so of nearly tan head. Spotty lacing. Bold malt in the aroma. Excellent caramel flavors in the malt, though not as sweet as some Oktoberfests I have tried. I am sometimes put off by the sweetness in this style – but must say that this beer is very nicely done. Some nice herbal/floral/spicy hops in the flavor and into the aftertaste. More sweet (but not overly so) malt in the finish. Some toffee, perhaps? Medium to full bodied with a nice flavor that refuses to quit.
