Bottle from Ron’s. Pours copper with 2-fingers of white, clingy head. Nose is grainy malt and hopcitrus. Taste is rather bland, more like BMC swill than a proper marzen, on the sweet side, with almost no hop presence. Boring and bland, pass on this one.

Dec 28, 2009 large fluffy head that quickly dissipates atop a thick golden-colored body. Chewy malt flavor with a slight ting of hops. Unexciting flavor- a strong example of an oktoberfest, but no Ayinger. Bottle from Stop and Shop next to Titanic in Miami.

Dec 13, 2009 Pours a deep golden color with a low white head. Aroma is very grainy, light floral hops note but the nose is overall very light and almost non-existent. Flavor has a full sweet Pilsner graininess to it, a light floral hops presences with a strong, grassy, slightly sour note. A moderate body, semi-creamy texture and moderate carbonation round out the beers mouth feel. Overall a very well balanced beer with a good mix of floral and grassy hops with a strong grainy presence.

Dec 7, 2009 Sampled on 12/7/2009. This marzen pours a medium orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head with decent retention. The aroma is roasted malts, bready and sweet. A medium bodied marzen. The malts are caramel, fruity and sweet. The hops are earthy and floral. A bready, semi-sweet marzen. Lively carbonation. Light and refreshing. Nice dry bready finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly biitter.

Dec 6, 2009 Poured from the bottle into a snifter, the brew is clear, bright honey orange with about an inch of off-white head, settling after about 30 seconds; no lacing. I smell mostly caramel and slight bit of yeasty dough. The initial flavor is a gentle bitterness that quickly mellows into malty sweetness, with a light twang of acid on the back. Nice biscuit and toasted notes. I would say the palate is medium-light. It’s a very mellow, balanced, none the less delicious marzen.

Dec 6, 2009 A pretty good offering from a primarily ale maker. Other commericial varieties (like Spaten) are better.
