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

On tap at Stone brewing World Bistro and Gardens. Aroma: roasty toasty malt with a nice balanced hoppiness in the background. Pours clear amber/copper brown with nice semi-full off-white head. Flavor begins smooth and malty. Malt is fresh roasted and rich. Finishes with a nice flavor of almost fresh cut grass. Carbonation is nice and enjoyable, light to medium body. Drinkability is medium to high, One of the best Octoberfests out there. Really a good time of the year for this excellent beer!

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.

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.

Draught at Pony Bar, New York
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.

Bottle. Clear amber pour with a foamy white head. Malt bomb. Aroma of caramel, bread, and malt. Taste is very malty. Tiny bit of hop poking through.

Poured orange/copper with a massive beige head and a toffee aroma. There is a decent caramel malt flavor with some light hop bitterness. It’s fairly tasty, but the malt is too thin.
