[1] Review by Dansting from Overland Park, KS, USA who has tried this beer once. (11/11/2007 10:43:44 PM)
"Bottle. Poured a clear caramel color with a thin white head. Almost not lacing whatsoever. Mouthfeel is nice. Aroma is decent, with sweet and fruity scents. Flavor is typical of most oktoberfest/marzens, as it has a nice caramel malt flavor to it. Aftertaste almost has a apple hint to it. A nice oktoberfest brew."

[2] Review by DC11 from Southern, MN, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (9/27/2007 3:50:30 PM)
"The body of this beer is an impressive, deep amber, but the dimunitive head leaves me rather disappointed. And because there's no apparent lacing, I have to rate this beer "average" in appearance.
I really have a problem with the aroma of this beer. I detect an overwhelming mold / metallic smell, which really prevents me from enjoying the malts and hops that are lurking in the background.
As for the flavor (once I'm past the aroma), I think the malts and hops are nicely balanced. There's a pleasant, roasted toffee aftertaste, too, and that makes the whole experience worthwhile (true to the season).
Enjoy this brew while it lasts, and look forward to the new releases just around the corner.

[3] Review by heemer77 from Savannah, MO, USA who has tried this beer many times. (5/18/2005 8:43:31 PM)
"Aroma is sweet with a touch of caramel and apples. Also has a hint of hay in the background. Relatively large white head. Very deep amber with an almost neon orange highlight. The taste is fairly subtle with grass, toffee and some nice honey in the finish. Overall a fairly thin, but decent fall brew."

[4] Review by jde123 from Philadelphia, PA, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/3/2004 3:13:59 PM)
"I thought this was a great version of an oktoberfest/marzen. Nice malts, creamy mouthfeel that differs from many other domestic versions I have had who prefer higher carbonation. Nice caramel aroma and hints of dark chocolate in the flavor, I would put this up against any in Europe. "
