Ed5388 (517) - Forked River, New Jersey, USA - MAY 19, 2013
12oz bottle. Pours a clear copper color with one finger of tan head. Aroma of bready malts, and some sweet caramel. Taste is bread crust, some light earthy hop bitterness, and grains.

Bottle from Gurd. Extremely malty. Sweetly malty. Some bread dusted with Milo - perhaps like french toast or summat. Not really lighting a fire under my tackle.

Trying an oktoberfest in late April is a little concerning but the beer seemed to be fresh and quite drinkable. Nice subtle spice aroma with the traditional deep orange transparent pour, the taste is true to the style. It’s a well balanced beer but not all that special. Decent!

Bottle from Plonk. Amber/copper, true to style, bready malt aroma, sweetish malt with just enough hop bitterness to balance it out. A good attempt, enjoyed it more than some German originals.

Medium amber color with a white head. Aroma is full of toffee with some grassy notes. The flavor is very similar. I get some iced tea and toffee notes, as well as a little bit of grass and earth. Fairly sweet overall. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Nice American-made märzen.

Ferris (490) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 30, 2013
Bottle - Sweet malts and grain. Clear copper with a thin disappearing head. Grains and bread with a dry bitter finish. A bit too much grain and too little balancing sweetness. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

davidm (1773) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - MAR 4, 2013
Bottle from King&Godfree. Very tasty malty ale, true to style. Aromas of nuts, caramel, with hints of liquorice and chocolate. Taste is sweet, with light bitterness, and average length. Palate is oily, and medium bodied. Amber, with a thin head.

This isn’t bad, but nothing I would recommend. Taste and aroma are okay for the style. [short review due to it coming from my backlog]
