CelticBrew (676), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Sep 22, 2008 Pours from 12 oz bottle a clear coppery color, forming little foam. Aroma of malts, caramel, perhaps a bit of field grass. Flavour what you would think from a marzen type beer, light caramel and malts, and again some field grass sneak in. Not my most fave style, but decent enough. yankeefan21 (82), USA Sep 21, 2008 Bottle: This beer poured a light honey color with no head at all. Very faint hint of malt on the nose. Very subtle carbonation with a bready malt taste. The aftertaste leaves your mouth somewhat dry with a hint of yeast. It’s an okay beer but nothing spectacular. I’d give it another try if I found it on tap somewhere. grimreeser (795), Minnesota, USA Sep 20, 2008 Pours amber with a smallish head, some lacing. Aroma of caramel, nuts, and grass. Solid flavor, easy drinking. demdeac40 (238), Etowah, North Carolina, USA Sep 20, 2008 Pours a nice amber color with nice carbonation and a fluffy off white head that lingers. Nice floral and malt aromas. Nice bready, yeasty flavor followed by a nice nuttiness, almost roasted pine nuts. Nice finish. dkachur (2316), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Sep 19, 2008 12 oz. bottle from Wine Warehouse. Orange-amber pour with a one finger head. Low to moderate retention. Grassy, malty aroma.... unpleasant. Sweet grainy taste followed by a toasty and slightly nutty malt finish. Taste is better than the aroma by far, thankfully. Medium body. GAManiac (1123), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Sep 18, 2008 Pours a bubbly, clear reddish amber with a good-sized off-white head that lingers as a cap for a while and leaves a little bit of lacing. Roasted caramel malts dominate the nose with a bit of sweetness of vanilla as well. The hops are present but subdued in the aroma. The taste is even sweeter than the aroma indicates with a much more bready malt backbone and tons of caramel and vanilla sweetness. There is a bit of earthy hops in the finish leaving a little bitterness. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied - crisp and clean with good carbonation. Not overly complex, this brew is definitely drinkable and a good representation of the style. badgerben (3586), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Sep 18, 2008 Copper color with a thin head. Floral and caramel malt aroma. Munich and caramel malt taste. A bit on the grainy side, but a nice lightly bitter finish. kassner (429), Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 17, 2008 Bottle from 3 Sons. Brown slightly turbid, Not much head or lacing, with faint odor of Iron. Lots of fruit taste, apples, pears, with slightly too muc carbonation. Sweet finish
