Oct 10, 2007 Updated: Oct 11, 200712oz. Delightfully German. This really brought me back to the time I lived in Germany. Clear amber pour, with a fleeting head. Moderate carbonation with a very distinctly german, maerzen malt combined with a sweetness that is hard to describe, slight notes of apple on the finish. Probably not the easiest to drink liters of, but this really is a nostalgic oktoberfest brew for me. makes me think of impeding weihnachtsmärkt mit glühwein.

Oct 10, 2007 Draught. Nice dark amber color. Light head. A slight caramel aroma. Taste has a little hoppiness. Not much else going on. Nice to drink but not great.

Oct 8, 2007 of all the Oktoberfest brews I’ve had, this one excels by far! A very balanced flavor by a fine German brewery

Oct 7, 2007 Bought a case of this at Costco. Initial skunky nose due most probably to the green bottle(why, why why green). Minimal white head with good lacing. Very clear copper color. Once the skunk is gone, there is a slight malt aroma. Kind of thin mouthfeel, but finishes quite well. Certainly not the best Marzen I’ve had, but at less than a buck a bottle, its way better than BMC.

Oct 7, 2007 A nice and drinkable O/M by the country who should know how to do. I’d take a Hacker Pschorr over this any day, but this isn’t bad. Aroma of caramel and sticky malt. Pour was very dark for an O/M. Medium to dark brown with no head. Taste was a little light in the carbonation-nice caramel and malt flavor but a little light in the aftertatste. Good as most of this style.

Oct 7, 2007 Bottle. I picked this up after having enjoyed Spaten Premium. I was pleasantly suprised and would try it again.

Oct 6, 2007 Light amber in color with a small white head. Spicy nose that leans toward some skunk. The flavor is sweet and full with a medium finish that is nicely hopped. Best Oktoberfest I’ve had so far.

Oct 6, 2007 On draft at Cassidy’s in downtown Portland, 10/5/07. When I drank it I didn’t know the brewer (thought it was a local micro; had to call the restaurant to find out) but I knew it had an "authentic German" feel about it. Has that rich warming malt "feel" you expect in a German beer. One of the more endearing flavors out there for the lager style.
