| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 25, 2004 12 oz bottle, courtesy of Tidiaguy. Deep golden color, foamy head. Nice malty/bready aroma. Sweet, very full-bodied for a lager, some smoky hints, light lemon zestiness near the end, aromatic piney hoppiness appears, a well-constructed if unspectacular lager. beermatrix (1497), Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 22, 2004 Color is a nice strong golding amber toned hue, thin off-white head appeared then fizzed out fast, leaves small spots of dripping lace. Smell is faint of crispy fresh toasty malts, somewhat breadish, with a hop note but quite soft on the nose. Taste is pretty light, fresh, crisp, toasty smooth and subtle malts that has a slight breadish quality with some nutty notions. Balanced well with a good mildly spiced hop twinge of bitterness that hits fast, lingers some then disappears pretty fast. Feel is medium to light bodied with a small amount of chalky and dull grainyness into the finish. Don't know what to think of this one other then I won't think about it.
A slightly better then average Marzen. rabuc (143), carlisle, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 18, 2003 Pours a clear copper with decent carbonation and a half inch off-white head. Bland stale malty lager aroma, but true to style. Body has some light dry caramel and peat malt character with a hint at fruit toward the bittering finish. Has good complexity for a lager, but could still use a little more balance. SiddFinch (154), Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania, USA
| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 3/5 | 3/20 | Nov 29, 2003 Updated: Apr 24, 2004This tastes like a candied lager. Sweeeeeet! Its like they threw some fruit cakes in during the fermentation. The first few sips are very good but it soon grows a bit overbearing, eventually turning into drainpour.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 2, 2003 Copper-gold, very long-lasting head for a lager. Nose is sweet, slightly hoppy. Initial flavor is tart and quite cidery. Quite sweet. Finishes slightly hoppy, nice bitterness. A very enjoyable lager. beerluvindave (194), Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, USA
