| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 12, 2008 on tap at American Flatbread. The waittress gave me this since their own marzen had kicked. Deep reddish amber in color with a lasting off white head- very nice appearance. Aroma of toasted malts- almost a hint of roast, caramel, fresh bread, noble hops. Taste is balanced very well: caramel, toasted malts, light molasses sweetness with some nice noble hop flavor and bitterness. Very clean and well rounded. Medium bodied, I enjoyed this more than alot of other marzens I’ve had. Haslinger (666), Syracuse, New York, USA

| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 6/20 | Oct 7, 2008 Yeah, aroma of chlorine and malty...chlorine. Flavor isn’t too different. Looks very very nice, but no rewards in this Oktoberfest. Sucks something bad, aight? Caleb1035 (63), , North Carolina, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 7, 2008 Smells like malt liquor. Bottle pours to amber body with very thick head that holds up well. Taste is pretty smooth. Not sure I will have this one again, but not bad.
