COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Seductively smooth, this medium-bodied amber beauty is akin to the great Oktoberfest beers of Munich. All German hops make this lager true to style. Patient cold aging makes it wonderfully smooth. In bottles September through February

Crisp yet malty. Character on the palate, but mellow going down. A very well made American marzen.

mansquito (1607) - washington, Washington DC, USA - AUG 30, 2010
MET Supermarket, Brooklyn ($11): Pours an amber color with a good looking head. Aroma is mostly malty with some notes of hops. It gives you a pretty basic sense of how this is gonna taste, which is also malty with a few sweet notes. There is a prominent hop presence, but in the moderation that is in keeping with the style. Definitely a good beer to session with.

cakanator (440) - South Hadley, Massachusetts, USA - AUG 23, 2010
12 oz bottle. First of the season for me, pours an amber hue. Not much going on with the aroma, a little malt some sweetness nothing overwhelming. The marzen is pretty standard, not great, but I’d drink it over sam adams and harpoon. A bit malty with a thin palate.

HonkeyBra (2217) - Lemont, Illinois, USA - AUG 18, 2010
Deep transparent orangish red pour with thin white head. Aroma of crackers, doughy malt, leafy hops. Flavor is crackery, kind of nutty. Some leafy hops, mild sweetness. Pretty crisp for a Marzen. Mouthfeel is medium with high carbonation. Finishes a bit bitter. I don’t have a lot to say about this one. Just a simple, inoffensive Oktoberfest.
