Jul 4, 2008 Amber in appearance, small head. Strong malty aroma. A bit too hoppy to taste for a Maerzen, in my opinion. It’s not as sweet compared to others either. Some carbonation. Not a bad beer, but there are others of this style that are better.

Jun 6, 2008 This tastes oxidized and skunky, even for an import. I love octoberfests in general, and I know a lot of people enjoy this beer, so maybe I got an extra old one.
The color is a nice amber, good for the style.
There is a good malty flavor under the oxidation, but The hop character might be a tad too much for the style.

Jun 6, 2008 Bottle. Poured a copper color with a fluffy off-white head. Very nice malty aroma. No real hop character in the aroma. Good flavor of malt with a touch of sweetness. Not as sweet as some maerzen beers. I thought this was a very good beer.

May 26, 2008 Good Malt aroma, nice copper color with good head. Strong but smooth taste that made me beg for another. First sampled this at Octoberfest and occasionally find a bar with it as well. Great flavor for a great bear, another one that is good warm as well.

May 5, 2008 A pale golden lager with a thin white head. Aroma of sweet honey and yeast, clearly oxidized. In mouth, good malt with light german hops, definite signs of oxydation, cloying sweetness and chalky final. Bottle is one year old. BB 08/07
