Bottle. Clear golden color, medium white head. Aroma of light grass and citrus. Taste is sweet malt.

Bottle. Light grass and hop spice, mild lemon citrus, pleasant caramel/bread malt nose, hint of pump at the back. Brilliant light amber-copper body with a frothy off-white head. Crisp malty medium body with light hop prickle and a little veggie, has workable caramel malt and a hint at the darker side of Maillard. Sweet but not too much, with low bitterness, just enough to keep you coming back for more.

On tap, amber orange color with white foam, aroma is sweet malt, carrots, bread, flavor is caramelized carrots, malt, good finish

Pours a copper amber with a medium off white head. Aroma and Taste of sweet toasted barley, fruity notes with some mild floral earthy hops. Palate is a medium body, smooth with moderate carbonation. Finish is sweet toasted malt, barley, yeast and fruity notes with some mild hops bitterness slightly nutty ending. Overall a good solid, crisp refreshing session brew.

Undated 12 oz bottle served in Peroni glass. Poured clear copper color with a creamy tan head. Quite lovely but the head is short-lived. There is a lasting ring that leaves decent lacing. Very attractive aroma with a matching flavor. Fine sweet malt flavor with enough hops to balance sweet and bitter. Excellent Marzen!

Draft at beer fest. Pours clear copper with a small white head. The aroma Is typical of the style. The taste is medium sweet and fairly standard.

Tallahassee, Fl - on tap at Proof Brewing Company. Medium copper pour, soft white head. Aroma of ripening vegetables, some bubble gum. Flavor is grainy with some ripening vegetable notes, a hint of brown sugar and pumpkin to sweeten it up a bit. Mouthfeel is thick enough.

Aroma is wild and slightly floral. Color is brown and clear with a nice head. Taste is slightly hopped and slightly sour; sort of bready. Interesting interpretation of Oktoberfest. Palate is full and frothy, but not too thick.

Nice orange coloring, low carbonation, decent light flavoring, goes down very smooth and finishes clean. Overall it’s a pretty standard interpretation, would like them to go a little bolder next time, still good though.

Draft at Land O Lakes World of Beer. Pours a clear copper color with a medium sized white head. Aroma has some sweet spice notes. Flavor is nice and easy drinking with a much appreciated hop bitterness in the finish.
