Nice color, head fades rather quickly!Has the problem that most American versions of this style need to overcome! Probably wrong malt selection, no finish!!! Tasted next to a Hacker Pschoor and it got lost!

Dec 28, 2009 Rich, copper color that melds well with a brownstone tire in season, this festy can subdue the the masses with its fine malt, tart hop presence and sensational aftertaste of an field of autumnal goodness. I think this beer transcends words....

Dec 21, 2009 This is a decent Octoberfest, albeit a bit light compared to others in its class. Although this isn’t my favorite Octoberfest -- if it is indeed an Octoberfest -- it is a highly drinkable beer. It seems to lack the earthy character that I have come to associate with other Octoberfests. The aroma is hardly noticeable, consisting mostly of spruce and citrus. Its golden amber appearance is standard for a lager, but a bit on the light side for an Octoberfest. Minimal head. The taste is interesting: light sweetness, medium bitterness, and lightly sour. It has a crisp palate, with a thin texture and lively carbonation. The finish is clean and abrupt. Enjoyable, but not award-winning for its category.

Dec 20, 2009 Pours to a medium amber brown with a nice head that doesn’t go away to quickly. It coats the glass well. Aroma is of hops with a sweet note hidden in the background. Pleasantly bitter and smooth finish. Not a lot of aftertaste. This is a light-medium bodied Maerzen. It isn’t too creamy like some other examples.

Nov 21, 2009 Bland as far as Octoberfests go. I had on tap at The Gerst House in Evansville, In. Somewhat flat tasting. Typical malt and spices of an Octoberfest.

Nov 16, 2009 Clear amber color with a big, white, fluffy head. Malty, caramel, earthy aroma. Fairly standard taste. Pretty typical of the style.

Nov 13, 2009 Picked this one up in Maryland. Pours into the glass a bronze colour with a frothy off white head. Decent lacing. Aroma is malty, sort of sweet with some peanut smell. Taste is fairly normal for a Oktoberfest. But it has a certain glassy quality to it. That throws things off for me.Otherwise pretty full and not a whole lot of caramel. just right.
