on tap, pours amber with a medium white head. Toasted malt and boozy nose. Nice bready malt flavor....almost nutty. I like it.

on tap-pours an off white ring for a head and amber color. Aroma is light/medium malt, some fruity hops. Taste is light/medium malt, some fruity/spice/perfumy hops bite.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours was a brownish orange with a nice off white head. The aroma was a toasty with some fruity and toffee notes. Very low level of hops. The flavor was certainly malty with only a little bit of sweetness in the finish. Medium body and average carbonation. I guess I liked it fine. I drank two pitchers.

Draft. Small off-white head that was mostly lasting, splotchy amounts of lacing, no carbonated observed, transparent, and a golden hue. Nose was malty and caramel and ditto for the flavor. Mostly smooth mouthfeel and light-medium in body. Quaffable for the style, but nothing that left me wanting more.

This draft brew brought up from Florida for the Mad Anthony Oktobeerfest poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to medium sized white colored bubbles that were and left behind a and a fair lacing. The mild aroma was malty. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of semi-sweet malt and crisp hops. A decent one that I would consider buying again. Definitely was more ale like than a classic Marzen.
