3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle. Deep amber colour with a white head. Sweet malty aroma with plenty of deep caramelly munich malt. A touch of brown sugar as well but over it all is a lovely floral noble hop aroma. Flavour shows bready malt complexity over a bit of toastiness with lots of herbal and spicy hop notes. Lingering bready/spicy flavour. A nice marzen after two pretty poor examples.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. An amber coloured beer with a whitish head. Quite a clean crisp lager in both taste and aroma. Malty but not the same malts I would recognise in a German fest beer. More vienna like really. That said, it’s pleasant enough and an easy, but unexciting drink.

Bottle. Amber color, creamy offwhite head. Malty bready aroma, some spices. Malty flavor, creamy, toffee notes, some hops. Nice floral finish.

Aroma is heavy malt (toasted grain, nutty, straw), light hops (herbs), average yeast (dough, earth) with notes of wood and dust. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a metallic finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity, light bitterness. A tad husky and sweaty near the end.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Damn this is a pretty nasty verion of an oktoberfest. Amber pour. Very grainy and malty aroma...flavor reminds me of a bad dark lager. Macro flavors...skunk, caramel malt and sorry hops. Man I really didn’t like this.
