Nov 23, 2009 A pretty good marzen but a bit of a disappointment compared to most from Weihenstephan. Aroma has more of the rich vinous malt flavor important to the style than the flavor. Not bad but not particularly good compared to better version, like Ayinger.

Nov 13, 2009 50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is mild cornish and light grassy. Caramelish and light roasted flavoured. Smooth malty finish, subdued bitterness.

Nov 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear gold with a large fluffy white head that lasts well and leaves a bit of lace. Sweet, grainy aroma has notes of malt, caramel and citrus. Flavour is less sweet but otherwise identical to the aroma. Light body, thin mouthfeel and a short, slightly sweet finish. Easy to drink but nothing particularly memorable either. Not really up to the standard of most of this brewery’s beers.

Nov 3, 2009 Fairly standard stuff. Deep amber, white head. The aroma is tepid caramel malts. The flavor follows, a relatively weak malty beverage. Very light hops on the finish. Not bad at all, not a classic by any means.

Oct 31, 2009 Bottle. Lighter than I would have thought. Not quite "deep golden color". Slight skunk on the nose. Enough malt to keep you drinking. Hoppy for a fest beer leading to a bitter finish.

Oct 30, 2009 Bottle from K&L Redwood City. Meh, this is the first from this brewery that I’ve found to be rather unexciting. Pours a very clear pale golden color with a dissipating white head. Aroma is caramel and pale malt, rather muted but pleasant. Flavor is again pleasant but not very exciting, with pilsner malt, caramel, and just a touch of herbal hops. No roast to speak of, which I expect some of from this style. Palate is very light and crisp, refreshing but uninspiring. Drinkability is high, but water is really drinkable too. Overall this is around average for the style.

Oct 29, 2009 Clear pale yellow color. Aroma is a skunked, malt and hop scent. Taste is a little bitter/skunked. Flavors are mainly malts and hops. Has a bitter aftertaste.
