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

Tap: Pours a mild amber color. Flavor is of some sweet malts with a bit of alcohol and a little bit of hops. This is not a very complex, flavorful, or very good marzen.

it’s alright: aroma--bread, floral, buttered broccoli; caramel, soap, grapefruit/peel aftertaste like joeymacaroni notes below me--meh.

Brown bottle, 12 ounces, gift from Ian Guénard, savoured on August 13 2008; eye: copper, clear, no effervescence, tan head that disappears completely, no lacing; nose: caramelized malt is dominant, light resinous hops, light grapefruit; mouth: fizzy at the start but average carbonation follows through, caramel malt, light hops, pepper, finale in caramel malt where the hops make a surprise appearance, smooth, velvety, lightly sweet, slightly bitter, medium body; overall: below my expectations FRANÇAIS Bouteille brune, 12 onces, 5,6 %, cadeau de Ian Guénard, savourée le 13 août 2008; œil : cuivrée, claire, pas d’effervescence, mousse fauve qui disparaît complètement, pas de dentelle; nez : malt caramélisé dominant, léger houblon résineux, léger pamplemousse; bouche : pétillante en début mais carbonatation moyenne par la suite, malt caramel, léger houblon, poivre, finale en malt caramel où le houblon fait une apparition surprise, coule bien, velouté, légèrement sucrée, très légèrement amère, corps moyen; en résumé : en deçà de mes attentes
