4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 DalzAle (1737) - Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA - NOV 11, 2012Bottle thanks to bittermestupid! Clear dark amber pour, very little carbonation and a nice nutty and mild dark fruit aroma. Nice a malty, nutty, decent amount of caramel and a little spice. Slightly stronger than most Oktoberfest beers which seemed to enhance the balance and flavor. Really dig this, will be looking for this the next time I’m in Hudson!

Flaske hos Ole Anders mai-13: mørk gylden men nesten ikke skum. Overraskende lite humlearoma til en amerikaner å være. Mye maltsmak (Smørbukk fløtekaramell?). En annerledes fra Hoppin Frog, men langt fra deres vanlige nivå.

This one poured a hazy orange color with an off white head. Aroma was of caramel, lightly toasted malts, and grassy hops. Flavor was similar, a bit more alcohol than a normal marzen, but very well rounded and quite refreshing for the style.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a clear orange color with a small off-white head. Notes of toasted malts, brown sugar, husky grains, straw, and dry bread. Not much in the way of hops left, but to be fair, I opened it in late April. Light-medium bodied, with a malty, dry mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Good Oktoberfest overall.
