This is one of my favorite beers. Has the perfect balance of malt and hops. Has a slight bitterness and a bit of a dry aftertaste. This is the only beer I will buy till St. Nick comes around.

Cletus (6025) - Connecticut, USA - AUG 29, 2008
Bottle courtesy of beachbum25. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells rosey and sweet. Tastes earthy with some spicy hints and some nice sweet malty touches.

BigBeer45 (934) - Michigan, USA - AUG 25, 2008
Bottle, pours a clear bronze gold with amber at the edges, has an off-white head that thinned to a cover, left some lacing on the glass, aroma of faint toasted malt along with bread and bread crust sweetness, flavor of malt and toasted malt with little sweetness on the palate, a medium or a bit less hop bitterness and ends mostly dry, more bitterness then I prefer, too much hops or roasted malt bitterness, otherwise a good Octoberfest Beer, has a medium mouth feel, 6.5% alcohol is concealed well in this beer.

Drake (4803) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - AUG 15, 2008
12 oz. bottle from Wine Warehouse. Slightly hazy orange/brown pour with a small head. Toasted malt aroma with a vanilla-like sweetness. Slightly bitter and grainy toasted malt taste. Medium bodied.

ThaBobfather (178) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - JUN 26, 2008
Quality marzen. Goes down smooth, but has an undistiguishable taste from other marzens. Hides the 6.5% ABV well. Good smell, quality.

Bottle. A well played "Roktoberfest" Pittsburg has a handful or so of bragging rights, But when they do. Look Out! Quite possibly one of the top ten on the East Coast!

Admittedly this is a nice beer, but I did not love it. It is aroma, is full of mellow, but very full hops. It’s a nice amber color, with a decent head. It tastes nice, with distinct hops, and roasted malts, a bit tart. It seemed to be a chore to drink this. I did not love it but, need another chance to re-evalutate it.

Bottle. Pours a light amber color with a white head. Aroma is of malt and some mild hops. Flavor is light hints of caramel, a little roasty and finishes with a mild hop bite. Its nicely balanced, not bad.
