12oz bottle in a shaker. Pours copper with a thick, cream-colored head. Aroma of bread and nutty malts and floral hops. Strong on the malts, and better than most German beers of this style. Average texture. A decent beer.

On tap at Mix in Astoria. Well made but standard Octoberfest. Aromas and flavors are heavy sweet malt, nutty, toasty, bready, solidly hopped (not bitter, just balanced), woody, and slightly spicy on the finish. Decent.

Tasted on 9/24/11 from a 12oz bottle purchased at Whole Foods Green Hills. Pours a bright, but dark orange with a thick and rocky off-white head that slowly recedes to uneven lace. The nose is bread and cereal malt along with some spicy and floral hops, and a light bit of caramelization. The flavor is more malt driven with the lightly caramelized bread and cereal coming through nicely along with the lightly bitter, spicy, and floral hops. The body is medium with lively carbonation and a long caramelized bread malt and spicy hops finish.

bottle in a pint glass - pours clear amber with rich white head and provides decent lacing. Nose is caramel hops. Aroma is malty (roasted caramel) and a little hoppy. Taste is sweet with a long hoppy finish. Carbonation is high (Burp). Malts seem a little weak. Aftertaste is long but not exactly pleasant, such as a little off.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Pint glass.
Appearance: Rich, fairly dark amber with nice off-white head.
Smell: Cherry, biscuit and spicy noble hops.
Taste: Cherry, toast and caramel at first, with an odd sweet/dry juxtaposition. Ends drier with hay, biscuit and spiciness, but is slightly medicinal.
Feel: Moderate carbonation, medium-light body, semi-dry finish.
Overall: This is a very good Marzen that is just slightly marred by the medicinal aftertaste. Clean, flavorful and refreshing.

Pours a clear amber with a thin head and little lacing. Smells of light cereal grains, caramel malts, and some nuts as well. The flavor is similar with it being very light and mild with the cereal grains coming out near the end.
