Tap at brewery. AMber golden color with medium white head. Aroma of bready malt, caramel, herbal hops. Tast eis bready malty with toasty notes, herbal hops. Lingering malty sweetness. OK.

Mothership time!

Bottle. Dark golden color with a decent head. Nice malty aroma with a bit of grains. Taste was suprisingly balanced for a marzen beer. Good stuff.

AROMA: Mildly sweet with moderate scents of biscuit and caramel, followed by hints of roasted butternut squash. Overall, a very pleasing aroma.

APPEARANCE: Pours a clear dark-amber with a frothy, 2-finger, tan head that dissipates quickly with no lacing. Initially, it looked great in the glass. But before I could put the glass down, the head had almost completely dissipated. I'm actually quite baffled at how such a frothy, medium-height head could dissipate so quickly.

TASTE: Lightly sweet with mild flavors of caramel and malt. At the very end of the finish, i get just a whisper of cinnamon.

MOUTHFEEL: Heft-wise, I would classify it as medium-bodied. But feel-wise, it is a bit on the watery side. The finish is slightly dry and the carbonation is below average. Honestly, I think this is the characteristic (i.e. mouthfeel) that could use the most improvement.

OVERALL: This is an easy-to-drink beer. Mildly sweet, no bitterness or sourness, pleasant aroma, and standard ABV. I could see myself downing several of these, in a single sitting, and never tiring of it. However, I probably won't ever purchase it again. Mainly because there are other festival beers that I like much better. But also, partly because the beer is not memorable in any fashion. In other words, if I was offered this at a party, or saw it on a menu, I would probably remember that I've had the beer before, but I definitely wouldn't remember my impression of it. Which is sad, because I think the "bones" of the beer are pretty solid, and with a little tinkering I think the brewer could transform this from a "good" beer into a "great" beer.

12 oz. bottle. Pour a clear, orange color, with a big, foamy, beige head. The aroma is caramel, chalk, pine sap, toffee, and grass clippings. Sweet and malty, with a faint, sticky bitterness. Light, malty, and slick. Not great.

Single from my Kroger mix a six. Super fresh, but no date on the bottle; shame. Pint glass back at my air BNB. Huge beige head. Clear, classy amber pour. Honey Nut Cheerios, flour & subliminal pumpkin spice on the nose. Nutty, sweet cream, un-toasted brown bread, nearly completely lacking in bitter contrast. First few sips are good hydration, but I stopped forcing it once I got my notes. Pass.

12 ounce bottle. Amber orange pour. Tight, foamy white head. Faint toasted malt aroma. Zesty, toasted malt flavor. Bittersweet notes. Some caramel. Highly carbonated. Light bodied. A bit lacking on the malt side. Average at best.

Sweet malty and not too shabby. Really wish I had not packed my stein and had bought multiple, it hits the Oktoberfest mark for me.
