| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 31, 2009 Nice dark copper color with a light tan head. Nice malty aroma, sweet and rich. Sweet toffee malt base with a light earthy, grassy hop finish. Medium body, crisp and refreshing a tasty beer for the fall months. HughConway (367), Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 22, 2009 33cL bottle. Pours amber with slight head. Slightly sweet aroma and taste. Solid marzen if stored properly many examples in the US seem to be spoiled. drowland (1418), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 20, 2009 Had this at a sampling. Skunked Oktoberfest! Stupid Germans and their green bottles! Barreras (128), Diamond Bar, California, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Aug 17, 2009 Pours to an amber color with aroma of barley and hops. Tastes slight sweetness with a bitter aftertaste. The beer got better as I drank it, overall a decent beer. nhamilton (68), Cibolo, Texas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 16, 2009 Pours to a small, golden head with an amber body. Has slight hint of barley perhaps. Goes down smooth and doesn’t leave any unpleasant aftertaste. Another good German brew. Plamadude30k (122), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 16, 2009 Pours a nice golden amber with a white, quickly fading head. The aroma is truly intriguing, grass, hops, a little toffee, and some light fruits. The flavor is rather similar, if perhaps a little earthy. Mostly, this beer surprised me, especially in the nose, and as I’m not often surprised, that won this beer some points. Pailhead (2602), Allen Park, Michigan, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 14, 2009 Bottle: The aroma is light caramel, earthy hops, roastiness, and faint grass. It pours a transparent amber with a small off-white head that quickly fades to a small ring around the edges of the glass. The flavor starts with light caramel. The finish has some light roastiness and some earthy hoppiness. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Bierkrug (300), Idar-Oberstein (in Pakistan), Germany
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 9, 2009 500 ml on tap in the USA. Light amber hue with fine head and spotted lace. Aroma is malty-sweet and slightly yeasty---quite nice. Wonderful classic Marzen flavors combined in a great balance. The key here is the roasted malt flavors, which give the sweet malt the needed relief.
