3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sept. 2007 - By far the best of the Penn offerings I’ve tried. Pale amber/copper color, decent head and lacing. Full of malty goodness. Sweet, toasty and nutty with a crisp finish. I liked it.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
From bottle... poured gold with small head. Weak aroma, weak taste. Had some bite, which was the only sign of life in this beer. I could probably pound ten of these while sitting at a fire in the fall and be happy, so it has it’s place.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Tallahassee, Fl. - Steel City Saloon - 12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy, medium golden with a slight white bubbly head. Faint aroma of fresh lake water, not much else. Standard stronger lager flavor with some very brief ripening vegetable notes and just a smidgen of caramel. Mouthfeel is a bit too spritzy for the style. Very average and slightly bland.

as a hops nut, i dont like fests. its not even fair for me to say anything about them.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pretty average. Less malty than traditional Marzens, but very sessionable and refreshing. Somewhat watery.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Not bad for a Penn brewer. This craft lager is smooth yet bitey. Nice strong blend of malts for a beer good for bbq accompaniment.

This was a decent oktoberfest...I may have had an older bottle. I will re-rate at another date.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Crystal clear light amber coloured body with a super thin white head and a few bubbles faintly skimming up to the top. Aroma of metal, stale malt, light hops, nuts and a very tiny amount of apples. Light-bodied; Super bland metallic taste up front with some malt and nuts following afterwards. Aftertaste shows malt with very little else. Overall, this is a very big disappointment - I was expecting much more. Not a good beer for the style and should definitely be passed up unless you really can’t get anything else! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 11-November-2007.
