3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
I am not sure if I was drunk when I rated this last or not, but I see this beer in a complete diff light now. There is nothing impressive about this Munich style beer. The after taste is some kind of metal/plastic flavor and it just does not sit right in my stomach. I love KC and Boulevard, but this needs to be changed.

One of my favorite October beers. Best out of tap. Hits the mark for a fall beer.

355ml bottle pours amber in color with a finger of white head that leaves a few spots of thin lace. Aroma is caramel malts with some mild grassy hops. Taste is caramel malt sweetness with a moderate citrusy bitter finish. Medium bodied and nicely carbonated. A fairly well done German style lager which I will hope to sample again some time.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
UPDATED: FEB 15, 2012 Absolutely fantastic "American" representation of a German Oktoberfest style beer. Pours amber and effervescent, nice malts with a lovely (light) hop character. Even better on tap (in season) as the keg temperature lightens the malt and changes the nose to include stone fruit esthers.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Poured an amber color with a small white head. Faint grassy aroma. Tasted caramel malts with a subtle crisp citrus finish. Hoppy for the style. Not a bad brew, just doesn’t remind me of oktoberfest.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: FEB 12, 2012 12 oz bottle pours clear amber. Aroma of malt and yeast. Taste is the same. Good example of an Oktoberfest.

12oz bottle picked up at Archers a bit ago. Pours amber with a half inch white head. Aroma is caramel. Flavor is slight straw and caramel. Standard solid marzen.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Had this a few months ago, need to find notes. Aroma & taste: a well balanced mix of toasted malts, hops, notes of pine and nuts. Medium-ish body, nice finish. Overall: very good, would buy again.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle @ home. Clear, red-orange appearance with a small off-white head. Really a nice toasty, caramel malty, nutty, somewhat floral/grassy aroma. Fairly big floral/grassy hoppy, straw, hay, toasty nutty, caramel malty flavor. Grassy, caramel aftertaste. One of the better Märzens that I’ve had in a while.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice clear medium amber pour with short lived thin off-white head. Aroma is a bit on the light side, biscuity with a little caramel and just a hint of spice. Taste is definitely on the malty side, bready with a little sweetness but a touch of bitterness in there as well. Moderate carbonation and mouthfeel. Overall, a pretty decent octoberfest.
3.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle pours a clear amber with a of white head. Not much nose, a bit of bread, musty malts. The taste is nice and rich for the style, a little grainy and slightly sweet with a noticeable German hop snap to the finish. It is simple and earthy but easy to drink. Not my favorite seasonal from boulevard but a good oktoberfest no doubt.
