Pours copper/orange with a wispy thin head. Clean aroma with malt and German yeast notes. Sweet malty aroma with low hop bitterness. Medium body with a rich mouthfeel. Medium carbonation. Clean finish with just a hint of residual sweetness.

Has some very light malt and caramel notes, has a nice lasting head. Taste is like a typical Oktoberfest, rather light with a roast finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UncleKorm (265) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - SEP 18, 2012
On tap Colorado Springs. Clear orange copper hue with a rich white head, mostly lasting & good lacing. Brew has a light aroma of biscuits. Flavor of biscuit, caramel and toffee. Not as bold as some Marzens and bit on the dry side, but overall this was a very enjoyable beer & one you would be happy to fill your stein with.

DrSilverworm (2733) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - OCT 17, 2011
Sample on tap at the Cincinnati location. Hazy, half-opaque earthy brown color. Thin white head. Nice, thin crisp carbonation, very smooth, good dryness. Great hop and rye bread aroma. Good, long bitter-savory aftertaste.

DrinkEmUpJones (1017) - Georgia, USA - SEP 29, 2011
Pours orange amber thin white lacing. Very light aroma of pumpkin & spice. Palante is light-medium with baking spice. A little thin on the palate, but overall pretty good.

onceblind (2536) - Denver, Colorado, USA - SEP 11, 2011
On tap during 2011 Denver Brew at the Zoo. Clear brilliant orange with an aroma of pale malt and biscuits. Taste had a whole lotta biscuit with light caramel an light toffee. Tastes like a lager, which isn’t sweet enough for my marzen desires. A little dry too.

radagast83 (3110) - Fairfax, Virginia, USA - APR 27, 2011
Waiter called this a Pilsner. Meh. Served in a plastic glass? What happened to Rock Bottom? Okay, this was plain at best. A bit bland, touch of malty bready notes.
