Look: It pours amber with an off white head. Head retention is good.

Smell: It has bread aromas with some bread crust notes. It has some herbal qualities to it with a touch of spice.

Taste: It has bready flavors with a touch of bread crust. It has a little more spice than herbs in the flavor.

Feel: It has a medium body with a clean and crisp finish.

Overall, a nice drinking beer that is easy on the palate that encourages another drink.

 

I bought this beer recently with a collection of different Oktoberfests. This one is a clear honey-amber color with a dense white head. The aroma has a pronounced caramel malt smell and light floral hop quality. The taste is balanced just a bit to sweet, with some grain notes that run throughout. Medium-full in body. This one is worth trying.

 

Appearance: Clear amber, off white head with good retention.

Aroma: Grainy malty aroma with a toasty note. Spicy/herbal hops.

Flavor & Aftertaste: Toasty bready malt. Spicy hops. Restrained bitterness. Quite drying.

Mouthfeel: Soft with notable warming and effervescent carbonation. Medium body. Drying at the finish.

Overall: Well-balanced malt and hops elements. Nice malty aroma. Surprisingly warming - drinks more like 6.5% to 7% ABV. Dry start to finish with a clean finish. Solid beer.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours red orange with a small white head. Smells of fresh fruit and caramelized grain. Tastes of bright fresh fruit with caramelized grain. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Can: Poured a clear brown color ale with a medium size off-white head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of dry caramel malt notes with some cereal notes. Taste is mostly dominated by light dry caramel malt notes with light dry hoppy notes and a clean cereal finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Easy drinking Oktoberfest.

Mouth feel appreciated, color fits, finish very tasty!!

 

 

 

Copper colored with a hazy complexion that includes small to moderate sediment suspended within the body. There’s a fingernail of off white around the rim and covering two thirds of the top. The aroma is of bready malty. I’m tasting bready malt. The mouth is smooth and refreshing.

Poured from an undated 12 oz can purchased from the brewery.

On the pour a just over one finger of just barely off white head formed. Over a couple minutes it dissipates to a decent cap that leaves vague lacing. The body is a lighter Amber with very active carbonation.

Aroma is intensely grainy With a hint of molasses character. A touch of delicate delicate lager yeast aroma is present but it works with everything else here. Hops aren't very present.

The taste is fantastic for the style with the molasses character sticking around but the beer is dominated by dark bread character and very nice malts.. The taste is darker than the look but it isn't heavy or overwhelming loverwhelming like a lot of craft octoberfests. Despite a lower hopping rate this comes off as very balanced. Very light but noticeable hop bitterness.

The feel is right in the middle with a decent level of attenuation for the style but the finish is long and the malts make themselves present by being mouth coating. A nice crispy but relaxing fall lager. Right on style.

Overall this is a great Märzen beer with some nice big malty notes without being too heavy but at the same timethis is packed with flavor. Refreshing but relaxing at the same time and quite drinkable.

Picked up a 12 oz single on 9-24-22 from TW-Greenville, SC for $2.79. Canned 7-27-22; consumed 10-28-22.

Beer poured amber orange with a nice white head with the original pour.

Nose is a pretty fresh bouquet of toasted malts.

Taste follows the nose with a lighter toasted malt base, somewhat nutty, that is balanced fairly well with noble hops. Finishes with a touch more sweetness and just a scooch less toastiness than i prefer.

Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied and fairly refreshing.

Overall a pretty good representation of the Marzen style.

 

12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden amber color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It left thin rings of lace on the glass. It smelled of toffee, biscuity malt, caramel and some floral notes. Sweet toffee, caramel and a toasty malt finish.
