Bottle: The aroma is light caramel, earthy hops, roastiness, and faint grass. It pours a transparent amber with a small off-white head that quickly fades to a small ring around the edges of the glass. The flavor starts with light caramel. The finish has some light roastiness and some earthy hoppiness. Medium bodied with lively carbonation.

500 ml on tap in the USA. Light amber hue with fine head and spotted lace. Aroma is malty-sweet and slightly yeasty---quite nice. Wonderful classic Marzen flavors combined in a great balance. The key here is the roasted malt flavors, which give the sweet malt the needed relief.

Radegast: pint glass: getting on in the evening but I remember this being no more than average. The nose was farmy, lots of grains... the taste was mild and even, but I wouldn’t say balanced. Just average tone and feel of the beer.

Not my style, but an ok beer. On tap @ Brass Tap Wesley Chapel, FL. Pours orange with a white head. Nose is malt, lager, hops, bread, and hay. Flavor is about the same with a lager flavor and bread. Not a bad Marzen, if that’s what the occasion calls for.

Sampled at the 8th Annual Music City Brewer’s Festival. Orange red with a big white foam. The aroma is toasted malts, grainy. Taste is toasty, caramel, light grainy finish.

Very delicious beer. I shared a pitcher of this stuff with some friends at a beer garden in Astoria, Queens, NYC. A nice middle-ground beer: not too dark, not too light. Nice amber color, sweet taste and smooth body.

Draught pours clear, dark amber with a dense khaki head. Nose is primarily grain, and carmel with what seems like roasted almonds in the background. Taste is slightly sweet, leading out front with caramel and brown sugar, but finishing with apparent baking spice and earthy hops. The overall body is light/moderate with soft carbonation and a nice example of a marzen.
