| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jan 25, 2003 dark amber body with nice carbonation. Nose is a nice surprise, spices, cloves, notes of mildly roasted and carmely malts. Pretty disappointing body, real fizzy. finish of flaked barley and some alcohol. Not too bad, but I think that German style beers are currently the domain of my sweet home Wisconsin, not California! JPDIPSO (4928), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 27, 2002 Deep amber color with a light creamy head. Aroma of malt toast nearly ideal, unfortunately there is a touch of oxidation. Munich malt flavors throughout with just enough hops to cut the sweetness. A true fall session brew. 666seth (219), California, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Dec 11, 2002 One of the best marzen out there! Nice head, malty finish not too sweet! one of may favorites! Crit (2409), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 2, 2002 Caramel nose. Deep amber. Soft yet rich roasted nut flavor, but dies quickly. Good, but missing that something that would make it special. faulstich (25), Davis, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 22, 2002 One of my absolute favorite beers - much better draft than bottled, however. Subtract 2 from every score for the bottled version. beerguy101 (3946), Newark, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 4, 2002 Medium brown color, medium head. A medium bodied marzen style beer. Malty and slightly sweet. Somewhat hoppy. Nice mild nutty and fruity flavor. Good taste. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and slightly dry. Smooth taste. Aftertaste is dry and slightly malty. Nice refreshing beer.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 25, 2002 Dark pumpkin. Creamy off white edge head. Barely any carbonation. Mild Munich malt aroma with hints of caramel and spicy hops. Shallow, weak malt flavor and an astringent roasted aftertaste. Very dry. Medium light body. Almost too clean for its own good. Subdued toasted caramel flavor. Decent spicy hop balance but the malts aren’t there. Finishes harsh, a touch metallic but with a wisp of malt intensity. Not impressed.
