Cloudy orange-amber color; generous compact head. The aroma of malt and cereals is pleasant, reminiscent of cookies and freshly baked cakes. It has a correct body strength, with moderate malt flavor, light residual sweetness, quite evident buttery trace (diacetyl), and some alcohol presence. The bitterness is on the high edge for the style. Not completely bad, but nevertheless with minor flaws.

Cloudy orange-amber color; compact head. Light malt aroma and some malt flavor and other cereals; light residual sugars, with correct-to-strong bitterness. It’s served at correct temperature, but it’s also a bit too much carbonated. Not bad but nothing special.

Hazy deep blond color; creamy head. As for the Märzen, the aroma is mellow, sweet, but maybe here there is a hint of hop. Also the flavor is a notch better than the Märzen, still similar; soft mouthfeel, sweet, some malt taste, very light fruitiness from the yeast, some more bitterness. Drinkable.
