Commercial Description:
Seductively smooth, this medium-bodied amber beauty is akin to the great Oktoberfest beers of Munich. All German hops make this lager true to style. Patient cold aging makes it wonderfully smooth. In bottles September through February

This amber pour has a sweet malt nose. It is malty and smooth with a little bit of a hop bite. There was nothing great or bad about it.

From the bottle, pours a clear dark red with a small but decent off white head. Deep malty aroma, taste is similar. A little watery. Meh, really not my favorite. I had higher hopes for this beer.

Pours a light amber with a small white film head. Aroma is lightly sweet grain, grass and a some sweet candy. Flavor is light malt although the hops come through more in the finish. Thin body, light creamy texture. Finishes somewhat short and astringent.

I don’t know what it is about marzens, but many are hit or miss with me- a love/hate relationship you could call it. Ive had many bad ones, and some tastey ones, this one fits in the tastey department. It was rich in flavor, plenty of malted character and a nice bright hop finish. It had a toasted quality which was noticeable all the way through and it was a tad more livelier than what I expected from an octoberfest beer. Keep up the good work guys!

Attractive dark amber with a white head. Pretty neutral nose, very light grain and a faint hint of grass. Notes start with caramel, toasitness, bread - only a little malty sweentess, some grass/noble hop character. Full, round and creamy with perfect carbonation. If this had more aroma, malty sweetness and hop characater, it would be much better.

From Growler. Bought @ Victory Brewing. Pours nice golden copper color. Nice thick foamy white head, that nicely laced the glass half way down. Aroma is malty and sweet. Flavor is malty, with some caramel hints for sweetness, with a touch of grassy hop flavor comes through in the back. Slight spice taste. Nice balance. Could easily have a couple of these. Full bodied. Thick mouthfeel. Carbonation just right.

On tap at brewery. Copper color with a thin off-white head. Aroma is malty with a bit of honey. Flavor is woody and malty with a finish that reminds me of fish bait. Not quite as disgusting as that sounds but just average.

Clear copper/brown pour with minimal off-white head. Nice aroma of earthy malts, light caramel, and hops. Very spiced taste. A little fruity with a large floral character. Hops poke through a little in the end for an interesting balance.
