Apr 13, 2008 16oz can-pours an off white head and hazy amber color. Aroma is medium malt, then lots of sweet lemon/pine hops. Great out of the standard style (continental hops out, northwest in!) American interpretation. Taste is medium malt-caramel, then lots of sweet lemon/pine hops-slightly bitter, more aromatic. OK effervescence/soft carbonation. Nice. Thanks to Wasatch(BA).

Mar 29, 2008 16 oz. can courtesy of Secret Santa. Pours a hazy golden orange with a moderate off-white head that lasted through the first one-third of the glass and left partial lacing. Pleasant aroma of malt and floral hops. The flavor is more dominated by hops than malt, which is atypical of the style. Hoppy, somewhat bitter finish. Very drinkable, but not what I think of when I think Oktoberfest.

Mar 21, 2008 Can. Cloudy golden colour with a white head. Aroma of german hops, notes of pines, rye and maltness. Flavour of hops, malt very dry and very untraditionel oktoberfest bier.

Mar 20, 2008 Can from a trade with TyAnderso One of the better Marzens Ive had. Hoppier than most but thats probably why I like it more. Pours a nice deep orange color. Sweet sticky hop & malt character. Slightly doughy. Nice creamy mouthfeel. Real nice

Mar 16, 2008 Can from trade with akevitt. Thanks Jason. It poured an almost clear orange golden body and a white head. That’s quite normal for an oktoberfest. What surprised me was the lovely hop profile in this beer. It was packed full of apricot, flowers and pine, as well as some resin and a maltyness trying to balance it. The flavor isn’t on the same level, but sure something for a hophead. There’s still the lovely apricot, flower and pine, but it’s too high on bitterness. Full body and a long, long hoppy finish. Lager, who should have thought that. (080216)

Mar 7, 2008 Tasted 2/25/08. 1PT Can. Slightly hazy with an amber golden hue. Clinging off-white head. Herbal hoppy nose. Big sweet sticky crisp body. Good candy floral rose petal yeast character. Bitter rye. Sticky yet crisp. Citrus malts and a touch in the yeast palate. Good finish. Fun drinking!

This is no Octoberfest beer!
Lovely aroma of apricot and flowers. Trainloads of hoppiness, grass, flowers, dust. Great stuff!

Feb 23, 2008 Can courtesy of Secret Santa. Pours a dark golden color with a good sized fluffy white head. The aroma has floral and citrus hops with lighter moderate sweet malt in the background. Really reminds me more of an IPA. The flavor opens with the same hoppiness as the nose. More malt presence appears in the middle. Finish is back to hops. Enjoyable, but I’m not sure if it fits the style.
