UPDATED: SEP 26, 2009 pours a golden clear with a orangish hue, with big off white head this the highest ranked marzen i could get my beer monger hands on in chicagoland area bottle 1.9 oz if my facts are correct this is one of the 5 breweries in germany that has been supplying beer for octoberfest since its beginnings. aromas are of malts and hops taste is of slightly caramelized mallts and a very nice mild hopping, thin and smooth,the best of the germanns

A little above your average ’average’ Octoberfest brew, and gets tastier after a while, but not a market leader.

Bottle served in a lager glass. Pours clear, watery, dark orange with a short head. Nice aroma of bready malt. Medium sweet flavor of nutty, toasted malt. Medium body, average carbonation, creamy-oily texture, and a long, malty finish. Excellent amber lager.

Birra molto equilibrato, bel colore, bella schiuma.profumi di miele di castagno, in bocca dissetante e pulita con un bell’amaro alla fine.

Bottle from Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours light amber with a modest beige head and a bready aroma. There is a toasty malt flavor with a dry slightly bitter finish. This is a well-balanced brew that is easy to drink.

Bottle pours orange gold with white head. Aromas of caramel malty bread. The taste is similar with a musty German lager flair and a very smooth finish. Full and hearty, this makes American lager look puny.

500ml bottle

Overall: this is a fantastic lager, I surprised myself with the score I gave it, I can easily quaff liters of this beer

Nice floral hop aroma. Pleasant mouth feel with high carbonation. Malty flavor with a lite honey sweetness. I really enjoy this beer.

Single bottle purchased from a Co-op Liqour Store on 12/27/2011. Colour: Light brown and orange with medium white head. Nose: Grassy hops, light caramlled malt, spring vegetation, white pepper. Taste: Medium sweet, mediumbitter, medium-light sour. Huge grain, lots of caramlaized barley, spiced citru s. A solid bitter grip late. This is extremely well crafted and just plain great beer.

500 ml bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours hazy golden orange color with a nice 2 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention that reduces to a thin cap. Some spotty lacing on the glass as well. Aromas of big bready malts, caramel, herbal spiciness, toasted malt, and light apricot fruitiness. Classic Oktoberfest aromas, very nice stuff. Taste of caramel, toffee, biscuit, herbal spiciness, toasted malt, and light fruitiness. No bitterness present; with lingering notes of caramel, toasted malt, biscuit, and herbal spices on the finish for a bit. Great flavor balance and maltiness; with absolutely no cloying sweetness. Medium carbonation and body; with a slightly creamy and smooth mouthfeel. Alcohol is extremely well hidden with hardly any noticed at all. Extremely drinkable and smooth as expected for the style. Overall this is a great Oktoberfest and one of the best I have had yet. Great balance and great malt flavor.
