From the 16 oz can in a snifter. This solid little fest (or is it fist?) pours a luminous
deep amber with a nice head of white foam that settles to a thick ring, thin dusty
layer, and sports some nice light lacing. Nose of toasted malts, caramel, floral hops,
and biscuit. Flavors follow the nose with caramel, floral/herbal hops, toasted malts,
light toffee, and biscuit/breaded malts. Mouth feel is medium, medium carbonation,
smooth, and finishing nicely balanced and subtly dry.
Overall ,a VERY good fest...or fist.
Cheers

16 ounce can, thanks to Brutaltruth for this can! Served in a dimpled mug, the beer pours a somewhat clear amber color with about an inch and a half off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both good. Aroma is nice, the brew smells like caramel, toffee, toasted malt, and some floral hops. Taste is similar to the aroma, with some bready malt and earthy flavors noticeable too. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's easy enough to drink with a moderate amount of carbonation. I liked this one overall, certainly worth a try if you get the chance!

This one pours a medium amber-ish color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells slightly floral, with some caramel and breadiness.
This is certainly not the best version of the style that I’m gonna have, but it’s still definitely better than I’d expect from such a pastry factory as Angry Chair tends to be. There’s a very light bitterness here, with some nice creamy caramel, and some breadiness. It’s maybe a bit sweeter than I’d want the style to be, but I’m enjoying it.
This is light bodied, pretty crisp and clean, and very drinkable.
This is solid, especially for a brewery that I wouldn’t necessary assume would do this well.

16oz can. No dating information found, even though the label advises to 'DRINK FRESH'.
Clear, medium amber colored body. One fat finger of off white head, which quickly dissipates and becomes an active surface storm. No lacing.
Aroma of baked bread and caramel, with floral accents.
Taste is malty, with caramel bits. Hops bring down the sweetness with a floral note. Somewhat sweet malts in the aftertaste.
Medium mouthfeel. Clean finish. Good carbonation.
A very good choice for a fall season brew. Overall semi-sweet, with a bit of green apple and rich caramel.

Poured a dense, orange-tinted copper body with two-finger head that sticks around for awhile. The aroma has notes of hops that are floral and earthy but not dirty. Smooth, slightly sticky, has a malty base to give beer a little heft that is almost biscuity. Beer is balanced as the malts are underneath a crisp, floral hoppiness and beer is easy to drink with a smooth finish.

This marzen lager was very good...
Beautiful looking beer with a smell that is true to the style. The mouthfeel was light and crisp leaning towards being medium-bodied. A malty taste that was bready with slight hints of cinnamon. A very good lager that represents the style and the mood of the season...

The pour is amber colored with a generous amount of carbonation. The taste is baked biscuits, honey, and some earthy herbal character. Cheers! B

BEER!
16oz undated can poured into a pint glass shows a gorgeous clear amber body and floating a proud 2" head of off-white bubbles leaving random spotted lacing.
Smells and tastes like beer, if on the sweet side. Solid Marzen style, seasonal beer, designed for group singing, eating, and festive drinking all day long.
Clean, medium feel encourages more and more.
Overall a pleasure.
