Oct 7, 2008 Pours a nut brown color with a thin head and some streaks along the sides of the glass. The nose is nice and nutty with hints of spice and bitter hops. The flavor is nice and bitter with fall spice that coats your palate as you take each sip. Overall it is refreshing and spicy with good finish and the right amount of bitterness.

Oct 6, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours up nice and clear with a thick head. On the dark side for the style. Decent malt profile in the aroma with some fairly aggressive hopping for the style. Also get a slight mineral scent. Nice malt sweetness with some complexity with caramel notes the most powerful. Once again, bitterness is on the higher side for the style, but I find this ok. Seems to finish a bit thin. Overall, not bad, but there are better.

Oct 6, 2008 A nice surprise at the terrible bar where they have 6 taps of American pee-water macros and 1 tap of potluck. Dry (I didn’t find it sour like some raters) with mild bitter finish, the color is on the reddish brown side for a German Oktoberfest.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. Aroma is typical amber lager notes of caramel, clean yeastiness with a touch of Hallertau. Kind of reminiscent of normal Sam Adams. Decent Oktoberfest, though far from the best.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle Swing-top: Poured a clear brown with a off white head. Aroma is sweet toffee and malt. Taste is a sweet caramel with a roasted nut malt hint.

Oct 5, 2008 2008 Bottle - Pours ambery orange with a large off white head...aroma is light malt and toffee, flavour is also light...not on par with the other marzens in my opinion, lacking depth...

Oct 5, 2008 I expected more from a beer with this kind of heritage. I honestly wasn’t all that impressed. It was pretty complex, I’ll give it that. I was turned off by how sour it was. Maybe I had a bad bottle. It wasn’t excessively sour, but just enough to make me reach for something else within minutes.

Oct 3, 2008 From bottle on recommendation... pours dark amber, with small white head. Crisp, caramel malt aroma with similar taste. Clean finish. Quite enjoyable.
