Nothing special, nothing terrible here. The aroma was a bit off to me...cant exactly put it in words. appearance was nice darker bronze, head was adequate. Taste was rather malty sweet with a mid level bitterness on end of swallow. i dont know if it tasted rather metallic or hairspray-like, but there was this odd flavor at the end of each drink...it started out sweet but ended with this tinny taste. i should have had it with burgers, brats, or wings rather than by itself.

Pours a crystal clear amber/orange with a rich dense off-white head. Aromas of soaked grain, and a hint of cinnamon. Taste begins with an herbal, citrusy flavor, followed by some rich bread flavors, finishing with a pine forest flavor. Mouthfeel is rich. Overall a very good Marzen that I would get again.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a 14 oz "pint" glass. Pours a orange, slightly cloudy, with a small white head that dissipates quickly and leaves some decent lacing. Smells of oranges, lots of oranges, maybe a little wheat. Tastes of malt with a little hop bite, but pretty bland. Beer is carbonated great for its light body and is quite drinkable. Overall, a slightly above average beer.

Pours a brilliant golden amber color with a solid dance 1 inch cream head that slowly dissipates, leaving sheets of lacing.

Aroma is a bit hoppier than expected, with subtle pine and citrus ushering in a caramel malt backbone. Floral hops are also subtle, but detectable.

Flavor is far different, with sweet caramel malt dominating. There's a slightly tinny, borderline citrus hop character. Finish is slightly bitter and bready. Floral and herbal hops become evident throughout as it warms.

Body is on the heavy side, with somewhat light carbonation. It's slightly creamy.

Overall, lacking in malt complexity and a bit too bitter for the style. Drinkable, but not memorable. No real flaws.
