May 20, 2006 A very unique tasting beer. A nice red amber color with an interesting spice flavour coming through the malt. A great beer brewed right in town.

Mar 12, 2006 Dark hazy amber with a dissipating off white head. Malty aroma with sharp little lactic points. In mouth, sweet caramel malt with some light acidity, but still pleasant, with some nuttyness. Beer was obtained end of Nov. 2005, so not that old, so it may be a bit off. Thanks Piscator.

Jan 6, 2006 The pour reveals a slightly cloudy amber color with a thin offwhite head. Aroma of pears, apple and bread with some sweetness. The flavor has the same elements, apples, pears and bread. The body has a light to medium thickness with an oily texture and moderate carbonation.

Nov 28, 2005 Looked and smelled great. Unfortunately this is not my style of beer. Too fruity and not enough hops or bitterness to it. Not enough carbonation for my liking either. I am sure that this is a great beer for its style, but it is not for me.

Nov 18, 2005 12oz bottle via trade with presario - Thanks Trevor! - Poured amber with a fair tan head. Aroma is of caramel malts and some yeast and some German hops. Flavor is big malts. Caramel as well as some bready notes, and some herbal hops at the finish. Nice full palate. Very drinkable and smooth. Not bad.

Nov 13, 2005 Amber in colour with medium carbonation. The aroma was a bit more fruity than I expected, but the malt aspect began to shine through the more I smelled it. The flavor profile is quite interesting... evolving from fruity, to malty, to bready, and finally toast. Good heavy body to this stuff too. Wonderful complexity overall, but I would have prefered the bready-toasty elements to be a bit more front and centre.

Nov 2, 2005 What can I say about this elixir?!?! Very close to sex in a bottle. I like German beers and Marzen is a particular favorite and this rendition from Alley kat is the best Canadian Marzen I have tasted….beating out Dieu De Ceil, Cheval Blanc and other pub-brewed marzens I have tasted. The difference is in the hop mixture used in this brew….marvelous! Orange in color with a tall frothy cap and a delicious sweet bread and caramel aroma interposed with whiffs of German herbal hops. Medium bodied, creamy delivery of chewy sweet malts and earthy-musty notes…a great Oktoberfest in the finest Teutonic fest-bier tradition. I can’t get enough of this brew…too bad it’s a once a year phenomena.

Dec 2, 2003 malty, fruity aroma. Pours a lovely copper brown with above average head and lacing. Low hops, but present, fruits in the finish. Can taste the alcohol. Malt is low but palate is quite nice. A satisfying thirst quencher. Now if I can only figure out what the name means...
