12oz into my atwater pint glass. best before date clearly marked.
a - pours copper in color, totally transparent, with a thin cap of coarse, off white head. leaves a few thin legs of lacing in the glass.
s - carmel, cookie dough, faint hop spice.
t - carmel malt with a little spiciness on the middle of the tongue. notes of diacetyl and just enough earthy bitterness keeps things balanced. not much going on here.
m - medium body, buttery, coarse co2 profile and not quite enough carbonation.
o - easily drinkable i guess but just average as far as the style goes. would have been better without the diacetyl and with a just little more hops. with so many other great marzen/oktoberfest beers out there i don't see myself returning to this one.

12 ounce can poured into a tulip glass.
L---Crystal clear, deep amber color. Giant tan head faded slowly. Very good lacing.
S---Malty. Brown bread and light caramel.
T---Same as the nose but with a light hop bitterness for balance.
F---Medium body with good carbonation.
O---A tasty enough Marzen. Nothing fancy, but not everything needs to be.

12 oz can - $2 from the Acme in Media, Pennsylvania. It has a BB date of 22 January 2022 stamped on the bottom.
Appearance. Fine looking with a clear body that may be a bit darker and more reddish than average for the style, topped by a tall, semi-durable beige head.
While this smells like a rather typical marzen, tasting reveals one that leans to the bitter and hoppy side and that has an overly bitter aftertaste.

A nice classic Oktoberfest lager with an aroma of honey and malt, and a great dark amber color. This beer is a great choice for an Oktoberfest celebration, and stands up against some of the more popular local brews. All in all this is a nice lager for the fall season, and one I recommend to anyone who loves marzen style lagers

Solid all around brew, refreshing, this is a crisp marzen with a good base of malty back bone to it. Nothing hoppy here and almost stands up to Bell's Oktoberfest, this is my second choice to that.
