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

Pours a darkish copper with a thin head. Aroma is over sweened malts, sort of a faint vomit smell. Flavor also has an overpowering sweetness of malts, grains and caramel syrup.

Pours copper with a two-finger off-white head. Toffee, caramel, and a slight roastiness. In the aroma. Flavor is the same, with a long finish. Excellent Fest

12 oz bottle. Pours a deep copper color with a creamy beige head. Aroma is caramel malt and biscuit. Fairly heavy in body and leaves you feeling a bit full. Flavor is caramel malt, a hint of fruit, and a hint of hop in the finish.

12oz - BB 2/24/08 Nice caramel colored liquid under no real head. Bock like wood notes on nose. Light wood and mild sweetness on the palate. Not their best.

Clear brown witha slight orange tint and a small white head which fades very quickly. Bready, malty aroma with some slight grassiness and a mild spicy hop note. Fairly even balance of doughy malts and noble hops. Very thin and watery body with a tingly carbonation.

This is a fantastic Oktoberfest. Smooth with a little bit of body and it goes down great. Sweet caramel and balanced hop tones make the finish great just like the rest of the beer.

Bottle, pilsner glass. Pours an amber orange. Scant head leaves a temporary, spotty lacing. Aromas of malt and wet earth. On the first sip, the earthiness hits first: the impression is squash-like, zucchini perhaps. Sweet malts and orange zest are in there, too, but surprisingly for a marzen, lost in the carbonated sensations and general earthiness.
