TURDFERGUSON (1115), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA Oct 17, 2007 From a growler from Lou18. Thanks Lou! Pours a hazy amber with a big, fluffy off-white head. Nose is very interesting with a lot going on--very vinous, with some apple skins, and a whole lot of malts. Flavor is equally heavy on the malts but this tastes a lot cleaner than most marzens I have had and also less watered down. Easy drinking and refreshing. taeagan (9), USA does not count May 2, 2007 A very good example of an oktoberfest beer. Not like the lame versions that are coming out of Germany now. A nice big malty backbone without being cloying. The_Epeeist (915), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 3, 2007 Philly Craft Beer Festival. Small plastic sample cup. Clear brown with a light white head. Sourish lacto malts. Hints of tobacco and brown sugar. Moderate hops. Light carb, medium light. Good O-Fest. michael-pollack (1360), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 14, 2006 Draught @ Drafting Room, Exton: Sweet aroma with a lot of floral hops. Also some light caramel malts. Poured a deep amber color with a small, off-white head that lasted. Good lacing. Clear. Flavor was malty and moderatly sweet, but well balanced with some floral hops. Tastes a little bit like Cheerios cereal. A little earthy yeast too. Chalky finish was a bit bitter. Light to medium body. Soft carbonation. Overall, pretty good, and well balanced. TomDecapolis (2389), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 9, 2006 Pours a translucent golden amber with a bubbly off white head. Aroma of fruity, sweet malts and banana. Flavors of teh same. Kind of an interesting Okt.
