| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 13, 2009 Pours a deep golden color with a low white head. Aroma is very grainy, light floral hops note but the nose is overall very light and almost non-existent. Flavor has a full sweet Pilsner graininess to it, a light floral hops presences with a strong, grassy, slightly sour note. A moderate body, semi-creamy texture and moderate carbonation round out the beers mouth feel. Overall a very well balanced beer with a good mix of floral and grassy hops with a strong grainy presence. philbertk (75), Seattle, Washington, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 7, 2009 Sampled on 12/7/2009. This marzen pours a medium orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head with decent retention. The aroma is roasted malts, bready and sweet. A medium bodied marzen. The malts are caramel, fruity and sweet. The hops are earthy and floral. A bready, semi-sweet marzen. Lively carbonation. Light and refreshing. Nice dry bready finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly biitter. swanmann (309), Norman, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 6, 2009 Poured from the bottle into a snifter, the brew is clear, bright honey orange with about an inch of off-white head, settling after about 30 seconds; no lacing. I smell mostly caramel and slight bit of yeasty dough. The initial flavor is a gentle bitterness that quickly mellows into malty sweetness, with a light twang of acid on the back. Nice biscuit and toasted notes. I would say the palate is medium-light. It’s a very mellow, balanced, none the less delicious marzen. Bier brauen (215), Bremerton, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 6, 2009 A pretty good offering from a primarily ale maker. Other commericial varieties (like Spaten) are better. FishManLA (297), Abita Springs, Louisiana, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 3, 2009 Hazy golden in color with a very slight head that disappears immediately. Aroma smells of yeast and malt. Slight toffee smell as well. Taste is like spaghetti-o’s, I’m not kidding, I think I got a bad bottle. This is not good.
