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

eh, nothing special. i should have read the "patient cold aging" part before i cracked a bottle open the same week it was shipped.

12 oz bottle. Very malty and fruity. Not a big fan of this one. But worthy of another taste and a re-rate in the future.

on tap at Market X shippensburg: Aroma was faint but had many nice caramel malt notes. poured a rich amber in color with 2 fingers of dense head. Flavor was smooth as can be with very nice toasty notes especially as it warmed, and there was a nice balance of spiciness from the hops. palate was medium. Overall this was a very enjoyable lager and probably the best Marzen I’ve had

Bottle; poured an orange amber. Not much head. Aroma is typical for style; some caramel and fruit. Flavor was different at first; a lot of fruit and nut. Alot of sweet malt and a dry finish. Pretty standard, but probably above average for the style.

A hazy lager, with orange amber colour and a light thin off white head. A sweet caramel aroma, with light fruity esters. In mouth, a lightly spiced sweet nutty malt, bready, with faint hopping. A quaffable beer. Bought in the Fall 2006.

Fifty-nine cent per bottle close out at Garden Fresh Market. Sweet malt/caramel aroma, slightly cloudy amber color, head doesn’t last long, decent malt flavor, body a little light. Decent Oktoberfest--I’ve had better but I’ve sure as hell had worse.
