3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 HighGravity (926) - Baltimore, Maryland, USA - NOV 27, 2006Actually a pretty good beer. More of a blend of a Helles and Marzen. It just didn’t have the malt, color, or gravity needed for a true festbier. Good sparkle.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Elwood (2552) - Leesburg, Virginia, USA - APR 26, 2010
Serving: Draft.
It pours a light copper color with a small, frothy white head. The nose has notes of cracker, butter, and a bit of grains. The flavor is weak with notes of toast, butter, and a slight caramel sweetness. Light to medium in body with medium carbonation and a short but smooth finish. Not the most mind blowing Marzen and unfortunately just not worth seeking out.

Clear gold pour with a thick white head and lace. Light caramel malt on the nose. Sweet caramel malt and earthy hops on the flavor followed my a medium bitter. A hint water but a pretty good beer.

Pours a light copper color with a white head. Aroma is caramel, toast, grainy, and some spicy hops. Flavor is malty, caramel, slightly grainy, toast, and almost a little overly spicy bitter finish.
2.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20 smcolw (426) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - JAN 3, 2010
From the menu: “Balance of malt and hops…”
Initial head and lace die to nearly nothing on the glass. Clear liquid; Dark gold color
Dish soap smell from an improperly cleaned glass. Too bad.
Similar to a British Mild. This is a malty offering, but there’s enough hop to give it some balance. A rich beer in terms of the body. The finish is mildly astringent—it dies on the tongue quickly.

Appearance: Clear, very light amber body with an exceedingly thin, white head.
Smell: Sweetish, toasted grain hints with even vaguer hints of fruit.
Taste: Pale malts with a hint of lightly toasted grains and a very faint caramel sweetness. A touch of apple fruitiness. Tempered Noble hop spice character with an altogether mild bitterness. Thin and lightly sweet for the finish.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A rather mediocre, bland approach to such a delightful style of beer.

Very pale amber. Crackery, lightly dry. Some biscuit and light toast. A fairly mild, straightforward example of the style.
