Pours a nice see-through amber. Nice aroma of malts and a bit of hops. Pretty foamy head. Nice lacing all the way to the bottom of the glass. Toasted malt flavor comes through. I’m not a big fan of the Marzen style, but didn’t discover this until I had bought a case of bottles from Costco. Good original German beer. I have more respect for this style after trying the Goose Island Harvest Ale and Three Floyd’s Munsterfest.

Crystal clear amber body. Strong malt, molasses aromas. Very malty sweet and clean flavors. Good marzen, not my favorite style.

12 oz. bottle - Pours a clear deep copper color with a one finger thick off white head. Aroma and flavor is toasted malt and light esters. Medium body. A good, clean Märzen.

Shifty amber body with a strong, thick white head that remains the duration of the tasting...aroma possesses that soft, nondescript presence that allows for pleasant drinking of multiple bottles in a night...light to medium body that is short, crisp and acidic once it hits the back of the tongue...relazed carbonation allows for multiple bottles in a night...overall, after having sample nearly a dozen marzens and ’fests this fall, an original still finds its place among the many imitators...not as sweet or intense as others, but comfortable in its balance and usefulness for multiple...bottles... in...a...night...

Beautiful copper color with off-white head (one finger). Malty aroma with notes of bread. Medium bodied palette that balances bitterness and sweetness very well. Malty with hint of roasted grain. Finishes clean. Very satisfying.

Great amber-orange crystal malty color. Aroma is fresh. Flavor is well balanced hops, with some fruity overtones. Malt is delightfully understated. This was a pleasant surprise.

Typical amber color of a Marzen. The aroma is malty, some alcohol notes. Flavor also typical to a marzen, with the malts dominating. Kind of an abrupt finish. Decent marzen overall.

Malty smell, amber color, white head. Sweet and malty taste, with lots of doughiness.
