12oz bottle. Pours a brilliant, rusty-looking copper with a medium-sized, short-lived, tan head. The aroma is biscuity and malty with some notes of toasted bread and subtle hints of fruit (dates). The flavor starts crisp and bready with notes of spicy hops and some residual malt sweetness. The maltiness and breadiness remain consistent throughout - from beginning to end. The sweetness is not too strong and is well-round. It is also well-balanced by a light and very clean bitterness at mid-tongue. The finish is malty and somewhat dry with subtle notes of hop bitterness and lots of dry, bready, toasty flavors. The mouthfeel is medium in body - and feels surprisingly full considering that the carbonation is also decently high. The beer isn’t spritzy but has enough gas to give a zip on the tip of the tongue and a tingle all over as the beer washes down. Overall, the beer is a decent, full-flavored, all-malt lager; but it is far from the best Oktoberfest beer I’ve had. Drinkable for sure, but not particularly special.

Jan 12, 2010 Pours clear reddish-amber with a foamy beige head. Aroma of sweet caramel, apricot, and buttery biscuit. Taste is sweet fruit and caramel with a toasted malt finish. Full bodied, not overly sweet. One of the better Marzen’s in a style in which it is hard to be unique.

Jan 4, 2010 Tap at Barcade. I really enjoyed this beer. I think, though, that this beer style is a bit undervalued by many raters. Obviously this doesn’t match up against an imperial stout. This beer was well-balanced between the hops and malts and had a smooth finish. Pleasant aftertaste. Great sessioner.

Dec 31, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber body with a thin off white head. Malty sweet caramel and cristal malts, a bit thin with some lagered sweetness and a bitter carrot finish. Decent for a marzen.

Light amber color. The aroma is too light. It has caramel flavor, but a rather dry mouthfeel, and also a bit dusty. Correct bitterness. The final is dry too. Boring.
