Oct 21, 2007 Sweet and subtle....delicious and perfect with pork sandwiches and German potato salad....good quality and a well made Oktoberfest.

Oct 15, 2007 Suitably amber with a two-finger white head. Sweet, malty aroma with a surprising amount of Continental hops. Very rich flavor, but I think they overhopped the thing: the finish is too bitter and has that earthy tang which in too many fests comes off as metallic and unpleasing.

Oct 15, 2007 light copper appearance with slight carbonation. nose is sweet with a malty taste that lacks depth and finishes with an odd bitter aftertaste. a rather disappointing beer and not a very good version of a marzen. not their best effort

Oct 15, 2007 12 oz bottle - this one pours clear deep gold with a good-sized off-white head. There is a much more assertive hop aroma in this compared to other Oktoberfest/Marzen beers I’ve had, but the sweet malt is still certainly there. A surprising amount of dry cocoa in the nose as well. More toasty malt flavours with a subtle bitterness in there as well. Kind of a jumble of parts that aren’t all that well-integrated. Dry finish. Thin bodied with a slightly metallic quality, this is a decent beer, but perhaps not the best example of the Oktoberfest style.

Oct 9, 2007 #100 - took me forever. Bottle: felt like having a marzen this evening and this was the only one in my fridge. Golden clear pour with a thin head, a light hoppy aroma, taste is quite malty and a slight bitter finish, nothing special here but not the worst of some of the recent Oktoberfest brews that I have picked up.

Oct 7, 2007 Draft at the Lancaster Arts Hotel bar...everthing about this beer was thin...pours transparent gold-amber in color, no real head to speak of...very thin aroma of malt, a little sweet, a little grassy...taste was thin, little fizzy, metallic...maybe I was just expecting more from this one.

Oct 6, 2007 Golden clear pour. Medium body although very malty. Sweeter than most oktoberfest. Just plain drinkable.

Oct 5, 2007 The aroma nicely balances malt and hops, while the pour has plenty of firmness and hop lacing. The flavor resembles a Dortmunder rather than a typical Marzen. The hops are beautifully extracted, evidenced both in the flavor and palate. This Oktoberfest is a very good beer but does not reflect the style.
