Oct 18, 2009 Skunked mildew smell. Clear tea colored, thick head. Thin mouthfeel. Flavor is of light roasted skunked grain. A bit too sweet with a hint of bitter blueberries. Disjointed an rather unpleasant.

Oct 17, 2009 A pretty decent octoberfest, nice coloring and smell, but lacking a bit in taste.

Oct 15, 2009 Looks kind of like a Coke. Carmel colored, and no head. Aroma of fresh hops is a bit confrontational, and has no real character. Flavor is not bad, but also boring. I think the best thing about this beer is that it doesn’t suck.

Oct 12, 2009 Experienced on tap in a pub glass. The beer pours a medium amber color with a moderate and reasonably thick white head. The aroma brings some notes of floral hops, and some malt sweetness. However, it has an obvious lack of the level of malt character and complexity that is found in the best examples of the style. Far more Munich and Vienna malt would be of benefit. The palate shows a reasonable level of malt character, along with some balancing hops. At the same time, it lacks the complexity in terms of mouthfeel and flavor. Overall, a disappointment.

Oct 12, 2009 Pours a brownish amber crowned by a frothy white-tan head. Aroma wafts malt, caramel and alcohol. Taste is malt with a slightly hoppy finish; medium bodied and well balanced. doesn’t knock you over but an above average beer. Pairs well with mild chili or cornbeef on rye.

Oct 10, 2009 Beer of the month at Winking Lizard. Clear amber pour with a big beige head. Nose of caramel malt, lager yeast and a touch of crisp hops. Sweet and caramel malt flavor with some noble hops contributing to a dry finish. Flavor is a little more full than the nose would suggest and I like how they avoid the overly sweet finish that some o-fests have.

Oct 9, 2009 Solid beer in all respects. Decent head, no lacing, amber color, malty aroma, well-balanced taste with nice malts, some dark fruits present (dates), but subtle, nice hoppy finish... It’s good, but I gotta say that nothing really stands out about it. It’s not ’average,’ but more like ’spot-on’ for the style, and it’s really good, but again, nothing really stands out about it, which is probably why it’s really good. It’s what a Marzen *should* be!
