Aug 28, 2007 At first the aroma is a little musty when youi pop the lid on this green bottle. No wonder! The date code is 1397, aged well! Good clean friendly marzen. Nice carbonation. A little darker than the regular pale yellow american lager. Lemony citrus flavors without any hop bitterness or bite. Finish is long but well behaved and agreeable. An almost tasty unique metallic palate for a few minutes. .

Aug 26, 2007 Updated: Oct 25, 2007I couldn’t pass this one up. Bought from my work (Party Source). We had a few six packs left over from last years Oktoberfest and so were marked down to $3.99 a six pack. Thats an awesome price for anything from Spaten! Also, due to the care that was taken it retained it’s freshness and I definitely couldn’t notice any signs of spoiling. It pours with a big, rocky head. The color is deep amber with an appealing hue. Smell of roasted malt with a sticky caramel, molasses sweetness. The taste is smooth, toasty and has an amber ale bittersweetness. Great Oktoberfest, absolutely definitive of the style. After stocking up on six packs of this and drinking it for a couple weeks, it has definitely found a soft spot in my heart... and stomach.

Aug 24, 2007 Mini self tapping keg from the liqour store. Pours a nice golden color with a white head. Aroma is slightly grainy and sweet. Flavor is crisp and smooth with a surprising maltiness.

Aug 20, 2007 Had this in bottle at a German restaurant in Victoria. Didn’t realize I hadn’t given it the RB treatment. Very good beer. Bright dark amber colour is bang-on. The aroma and flavour are clean and well-defined earthiness and caramel. There’s a touch of toastiness as well. Full body. The finish is excellent sweet caramel and I love the way the earthy hops sneak in there as well. The bit in the commercial description about "rich textured palate and underlying sweetness" is very apt. This is really, really good marzen. Now the question - if I can find it at a restaurant in Victoria, why not any bottle shop in BC?

Aug 17, 2007 One of the first German beers that I had. Amber in color with mild carbonation. Very hard to acquire in my region since it only around from October till about March. This is a good consistent beer always a comfort to come home to one of these.

Aug 16, 2007 Updated: Oct 16, 2007After trying Sam Adams version I’ve had to lower the rating on this guy. Still love it but in comparrison to Sams its a bit too sweet. Can only have one of these a day (just too sweet tasting to me).
