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.

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.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear copper amber color with a one finger head of off-white foam. The head fades rather fast, leaving a light level of foamy lace on the slides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is strong of lightly roasted malt smell mixed with other smells of caramel and nut. Along with these smells comes a little bit of a brown sugar and a touch of earthiness.
Taste – The taste begins with a lightly roasted and toasted malt flavor that is paired with some light caramel and harvest fruit tastes (apple, pear, apricot). At the same time there is a little bit of mustiness and a touch of nut. As the taste moves forward, there is a bit of a loss of the roastiness, all while the sweeter flavors increase and are augmented by some toffee and brown sugar, leaving one with a rather mild and lightly roasted and sweetened taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body is medium to slightly lighter for the style and abv. with a carbonation level that is middle of the road. Overall, the feel is pretty nice for the style and makes an easy sipper.
Overall – A rather decent and easy drinking Oktoberfest. Fun to try and appropriate for the season.

There is no date on the can. The pour is copper colored with a fair amount of carbonation. The taste is toasted bread, nuts, & caramel. Cheers! B

From the can, it pours a clear caramel color with a modest, soon diminishing head. Scent is light roasted malt with caramel notes. Taste is roasted malts. Decent.
