[1] Review by kinger from North Canton, OH, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (10/18/2008 8:37:40 AM)
"O' Sprecher, where art thou....what a satisfying brew from these guys. Lightly toasted malt that is nutty with a sweet roll aroma. Rich auburn color with a lot of depth. Large lasting khaki head and heavy areas of lacing. Lively, sweet and filling. This beer can be knocked back with ease. Quite a robust fest bier, very flavorful and agreeable. Initially fruity coupled by a mild yeast quality. Biscuits and nuts coupled with a spicy, floral hop flavor. Impressive is an understatement, this may be my new #1 Oktoberfest."

"Thank you pfoxyjohn for this Oktoberfest excellence. Pours a clear deep amber with a nice white frothy head with ample lacing. Good carbonation. Aromas of sweet slightly toasted malts with a nice hops balance. Taste is extremely smooth with a malty base a slightly dry hops finish holding true to the best Oktoberfests; Excellent example of the style."

[3] Review by pfoxyjohn from Watertown, WI, USA who has tried this beer many times. (9/2/2008 11:19:20 AM)
"Crystal clear deep amber with a thin tan head. Light malt aroma, faint toffee. Full, clean and crisp mouthfeel. Soft caramel flavors, with earth and bread. Well balanced with low hop bitterness. Tasty. I'll be tapping a keg of this for Oktoberpfist 2008, along with New Glarus Edel-Pils and Dancing Man Wheat."

[4] Review by Phishpond417 from Madtown, Wisc, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/8/2007 6:26:03 PM)
"A very nice tasting brew. Very well balanced between hops and malts, a pleasent caramel undertone with a semi nutty finish. Pours an amber colour with a little head that leaves intriquite lacing along the glass. Since I've had a few dissapointing marzens recently. This one along with a couple others have rebounded my feelings toward oktoberfest beers."

[5] Review by BeerHunter from Green Bay, WI, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/8/2007 5:33:25 PM)
"This one poured a dark copper color with a weak head and average lacing. It had a dry malty aroma with some caramel notes. It had a dry flavor with a firm malt backbone and a mild aftertaste."
