Far and away the best Marzen I've ever had. Perfectly smooth, incredibly drinkable, perfect blend of flavors. Nothing more to really say. I don't know what else is out there but it's probably not better than this. This one makes one of my original points that Wisconsin makes the best beer.

Very good beer. Slightly sweet, but not overly so. Nice malt flavors with hops peeking in at the end, good balance. A solid Märzen.

This is easily my favorite beer. The flavor gets better as you drink more. Very smooth, malt, caramel and not too thick. I love it and can’t wait for it to come back!

More robust than Cap’s oktoberfest. Smooth and malty. Shirt and shoes are required at all times.

Great summer beer. Not too sweet, not too heavy. Nice floral aromas. Good clean finish.

Very attractive beer from the tap: appropriately dry, very flavorful, and a rich body that complements its heritage. Perhaps a little too much on the yeasty side, but I quibble.

Aroma - malty. Appearance - golden, slightly brown. Flavor - Initially tart fruit, but floral hop flavor mixed in with a strong alcohol flavor dominate. Very smooth lasting finish. fuller bodied than it appears. Tastes similar to Unibroue's La Maudite but not as strong. Overall very good, would definitely buy again.

Copper, with a white head. Sweet malty aroma. Bready caramel flavor, touch of honey. Very on style.
