fakepurseninja (772), Washington, USA Nov 2, 2009 Clear copper body with a tiny wisp of small white head. Crisp caramel malt backbone, toasted grain and a nutty component. Mild grassy note with some soft fruit bits. jcr (1136), Jasper, Indiana, USA Nov 1, 2009 Bottle. Clear amber body with a small, fizzy, off-white head, fully diminishing. Light malt aroma of toasted grain and caramel. Hint of floral hops. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter — too bitter for a marzen. But even discounting the style, the malts and hops are unclean and a bit disjointed leaving a slight vegetative taste and sourness. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Not enjoyable. BMan1113VR (2755), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Oct 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours with an off white and a clear orange body. Caramel, note and a nice crispness. Flavor of grain, decent bitterness and some butteriness. Medium bubbles, dry mouth. bhensonb (4182), Woodland, California, USA Oct 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours a light copper/amber with a slight white head. Aroma of caramel with some very light fruit and spice. Near medium body with rather creamy carbonation. Flavor is fruit - maybe citrus - it has tang, caramel and mild bitter. Nutty. Really quite tasty, and it’s more dry than sweet. Good beer. SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Oct 14, 2009 12 oz’er - clear dark copper with faint white head; sweet and malty with some grapes, caramel; bone dry and a little sticky in the finish; kind of fruity too; light and finish; pretty damn solid Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Oct 8, 2009 The long and short of this beer, is that Googs doesn’t get it. Also, it had absolutely no lacing. BrewDad (2363), Olympia, Washington, USA Oct 5, 2009 12oz Bottle
