ScottyP (425) - Brentwood, Tennessee, USA - JAN 2, 2010
Pours a clear golden with no head to speak of, some white lacing. Aroma of caramel malts, biscuit. Similar taste, hint of apple. Very light, crisp and easy finish.

Finhead (704) - OFallon, Illinois, USA - SEP 26, 2011
A clear, golden pour with a small white head. It has a very light aroma with some faint caramel. The medium body has lively carbonation. The taste is malty and earthy with a slightly dry finish.

DrSilverworm (1016) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - AUG 26, 2011
12oz bottle, purchased from Party Source for $1.45. Clear amber-orange color, minimal head, some lace. Some roast to the moderate malt aroma, whole wheat. Crisp carbonation, very drinkable. Savory taste. Not terribly interesting. I can hardly tell the difference between a lot of these oktoberfest beers, but this one just barely stands out.

burg326 (1056) - Florida, USA - MAR 27, 2012
12 ounce bottle, poured an amber color, aromas of caramel, malt, and some bread. Flavor is the same, not the best take on this style, but certainly not the worst I’ve had either.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 16, 2004
Dark golden color with a touch of haze. Small dense off white head. Mild toasted malt aroma. Thinner creamy feel. Light toasty malt flavors with a mild floral/herbal hops finish. Mild malt linger. Really not much of a marzen, but a drinkable light amber lager.

nearbeer (2651) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - SEP 4, 2011
12 oz. Clear orange-amber with a humongous head. Nose is caramel, light toast, and tartish apple, Flavor is whole grain bread, flowery apple, and burnt toffee. Medium body is smoothly carbonated, tingly, and astringent enough to sweep away the sweetness to provide a drying finish.

Rusty (1517) - Mesa, Arizona, USA - SEP 20, 2008
Pours a dark gold with a small white head. Aroma of malt and hops. Flavor is malt, spices, caramel, toasted nuts with a very subdued hop bitterness. Easy to drink, and no glaring flaws. Fairly decent octoberfest.

drowland (3879) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - OCT 7, 2011
10/7/11. 12oz bottle. Dark golden pour, almost orange, with a barely off-white head that fades and laces a bit. Light caramel aroma with some grains. Slightly more flavorful - grainy, caramel, a bit dry. Could be better, but not terrible.
