Piney River Brewing Co.

From a twelve ounce aluminum can, this beer is a hazy amber color with a think off-white head. The aroma has a malt note, with a surprising scent of honey. The taste is slightly sweet, but a bit flat…the malt flavors don’t develop as much as expected. Medium body. Okay, but there are much better examples of the style.

12oz can pours a rich amber-orange color with a small cap of fizzy tan-colored head that disappears pretty quickly. Smells of toasted malts and caramel. Lots of toasted malts, caramel, toffee, honey, and a decent sweetness in the flavor. Bitterness and hop flavor are very minimal and the malt sweetness forms most of the aftertaste. Medium body and minimal carbonation mouthfeel.

This was a solid Märzen; it could have used a bit more carbonation and a slightly better hop-malt balance, but I still quite enjoyed it how it is. Probably won't buy again but it was fun to try for sure.

 

Pours a hazed amber with 3+ fingers of rapidly falling beige head. Zero head retention & lacing, never came close to dropping bright

S: Bready, corny,

T: Breadyness, pears, dryness, toastyness & grassyness up front. Pears, grassyness & dryness as this warms, a touch of caramel. Finishes dry, watery with a little pear

MF: Medium body, near zero carbonation, body gets really watery as this warms

Just a disjointed attempt at the style. I am usually a fan of the brewery, this one is just dissapointing. Would've drainpoured it if not doing the review

Poured from a can. Caramel in color with a tan head and some lacing. Smells of malt, caramel and toffee. Flavors of malt, toffee and honey. Smooth ready to drink, flavors blend together well.

 

12oz can. Poured out a clear, burgundy color with a small, tan head of foam. It smelled roasty with toasted caramel and some pine notes. Good roasted malt flavor with hints of toffee and a mild bitterness.
