Jan 18, 2009 From BevMo, this poured a cloudy yellow with small white head and light lacing. Nose is malts and light grassy hops. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is malty with some citrus. No much in the finish.

Dec 28, 2008 A surprising find in my motherinlaws stock. Clear gold with a short lived white head. Hoppy and malty aroma with a touch of spice in the background. Slight sweet with a touch of citrus in the flavor. Very nice

Dec 25, 2008 I was surprised to drink this Christmas Eve. My brother had a nice selection in the beer fridge. Golden Marzen with a few large bubbles floating in the foam. German O-Fest in all its average glory.

Dec 19, 2008 12 oz. bottle, suggesting this is an “export” version. That and the very light pour. Oddly, some floaties in the bottle, unusual for a German beer, I’d think. So we have something indistinguishable from a pale lager. Smell is kind of fusel-like. Well, this was an “end of code” special. Taste shows just a little bit of extra malt to it, but mostly seems gassy and hints at adjuncts. Maybe the stuff they pour in Germany is better than this, but this sample aptly demonstrates that “Reinheitsgeböt” is now just a suggestion.

Dec 13, 2008 Amber yellow colored pour. Nose: corn and grass. Taste: Bit of plastic, apples. This is not good.

Dec 12, 2008 Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. Pours with White head that fades and a hazy yellow body. Not a Marzen in my mind. Aroma of grass, corn and butter...again not to style. Taste is wet dog and diacetyl. Light carbonation and buttery mouthfeel.
