Golden orange color, nearly crystal-clear...pretty appealing visually. Light, dim aroma of... malt? Sugar? I’m not sure. Flavors were on the sweet side...malt, some graininess, a bit of the yeast. Pretty heavy and syrupy, alright but a bit too much... a decently made beer but I don’t think I could drink very much of this.

Golden-amber colour. Caramelly nose with some diacetyl. Way too fizzy, even with the frozen glass. More caramel and diacetyl on the palate. A tough pint to choke back, quite frankly.

Well balanced, medium hops and mouthfeel, long somewhat bitter aftertaste. Not as sweet as most marzens or oktoberfests. Not bad,worth trying.

Draft. Not an attention getter. But nothing offensive either. Just kind of standard and easy to drink. Clear, amber pour with a short, white head. The aroma is mostly malty with a slightly sweet nose. Notes of caramel and bread. Hint of butterscotch. The flavor is lightly sweet with a lightly bitter finish. Medium body and watery texture. Lively carbonation.

On Tap at the Columbus Microbrew Festival. This stuff looked nice, but wasn;t that sweet. Pretty simple and flavorless.
