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.

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.

Dec 6, 2009 A pretty good offering from a primarily ale maker. Other commericial varieties (like Spaten) are better.

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.

Dec 1, 2009 Bomber bottle. Pours a bright copper amber with a thick, long-lasting head. Sweet butterscotch malt aroma with fruity undertones. Caramel malt rules the palate with a sweet fruitiness (white grapes?) and a slightly earthy finish.

Nov 29, 2009 Not my favorite style but this is better than most. Light earthy, bready aroma. Pours a clear amber with a fluffy white head. Flavor is malty sweet with just a touch of bitterness. Finishes dry. A little watery but not bad.

Nov 28, 2009 Bottle: Pours a transparent golden orange with a thin, spotty-lacing froth of white head. Aroma of semi-sweet grainy caramel malt with a hint of light fruity notes and noble hops. Starts with a pretty good fullness for the style and a nice German malty sweetness well balanced with a grassy hoppiness before a slightly drier bittersweet finish with some notes of black pepper. A pretty true to style and drinkable festbier.
