Bottled. Thanks Yogi_Beera!! Deep golden with rich, firm head. Very malty, I would say fat and stable. Velvetty soft mouthfeel and with slight roastiness. And what a wonderful malt character, so chewy and inviting - this is a beer I could drink endless amounts off. The finish is grassy with relatively low bitterness. This is art!

YogiBeera (2436) - Hamburg, GERMANY - SEP 1, 2002
Nice malty aroma. Light red body with no head. Tastes malty with hints of caramel that leads to a light long lasting bitter finish. Soft carbonation but crisp. Wonderful beer, why seasonal´?

OleR (3680) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 18, 2006
Bottle. Thin off-white head over a clear golden body. Mild, sweetish malt aroma with touch of floral hops. Taste is clean, soft and mellow: pale malts with a reasonable hopbitterness. Smooth mouthfeel. Nice delicate and lingering hops in the finish. Very well balanced and easy to drink. Less is more!

Sweet hay-like nose and greenish-tan color with little head retention. Big sweet malt taste that is a little honey-like, turns spicy in the middle and leaves with a nice bitter tinge. Sweet lollipop effect on the lips lingers after swallowing. Varied profile. Complex yet smooth.

LordCorkscrew (1759) - Ronco Scrivia (GE), ITALY - OCT 4, 2007
Colore spettacolarmente ambrato chiaro/biondo scuro, con schiuma ricca e compatta proprio bella a vedersi e perlage evidentissimo. Aroma dolce con note di agrumato, uva da moscato e carta nuova; sapore molto soddisfacente tutto sommato ben bilanciato con una luppolatura non usuale per una Märzen. Una birra di Natale straordinariamente piacevole e fresca, che si può bere un po’ tutto l’anno come suggerisce la furbetta descrizione commerciale. Viva Kulmbacher.

Malty aroma, with a slight floral hoppiness. Malty, caramelly, honeyish, flowery taste. Medium-bodied. Very nice.

maeib (6647) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - AUG 22, 2006
Bottled. An old gold coloured beer with a nice white centimetre thick head. The aroma is malty and grainy and has a touch of sweetness. The taste is extremely smooth. A nice bite of late hop counteracts the early malty sweetness. Very, very easy to drink and well brewed.

Voivod (304) - Como, ITALY - MAR 30, 2003
[on tap] Pale orange colour, clean appereance, thin but persistent head. Malty aroma with some corn hints. The flavour has a good malty sweetness, with some cereal hints. The finish is quite hoppy and spicy. A really clean and light beer, very drinkable.
