3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Auburn ruby, thin head, light lacing. Nose of light sweet caramel and grassy hops. Very faint. The flavor is moist like wet dog and underhopped malt; light sweetness. The finish is tinny and watery, needs either more body or more sweetness, but I think that’s synonymous with this one.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark amber color and nice lacing. That’s about all I can say that’s good. Taste is bland, mouthfeel is a little weak, aroma is non-existent. Not very impressive. Aftertaste is on the malty side, which is good too. I’ve had better marzen’s.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
I enjoyed this! Aroma is very malty and nutty. So far so good. The color is an orangish/amber color with a off-white head with tons of little bubbles. Taste is malty, slightly nutty and overall very pleasing. Very nice beer!
2.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewpub. Dark amber in color with a white head. Complete lack of an aroma. Medium malt sweetness. This lager seems much lighter in flavor than the coor would suggest. Tongue tingly finish without very much aftertaste.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
I went to the restaurant last night and while I’m not much of a fan of German lagers this one was actually pretty good. I never expected to find a German ber this aromatic, dark and flavorful. Pretty good.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Coppery in color, moderate to large off-white head, foamy, fairly nice lacing, light carbonation. Bready nose, malty, hint of grain. Somewhat boring at less than room temp, but as it warms some very subtle dark pitted fruit emerges. Moderate body and mouthfeel, although it nears the thin side. Somewhat funky finish, a bit more grainy and fuesel than I care for. Not bad, certainly better than lots of other examples.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft from Mar 05 visit to Sac/Davis. Copper color with decent head. Sweet malty nose and flavor, but not over the top. Seemed kinda thin for a marzen. A good beer, but didn’t strike me as a wow-beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Pours a light amber color. Nose is sweet and malty. Flavor is malty and sweet. Has some sweet fruity qualities as well. well rounded marzen. One of the better ones that I’ve had.
