Bouteille 600ml. Couleur cuivré limpide, mousse beige foncée fuyante. Arôme de malt légèrement grillé, houblon feuillu. Goût de malt, levure, amertume moyenne, pain, houblon terreux. Carbonatation moyenne, corps moyen.

Ce produit n’offre pratiquement rien au nez alors qu’en bouche, le caramel amère, les noix et le pamplemousse prennent toute la place. Bière correcte en fait ;)

Bottle from the LCBO. Deep orange amber with a tiny white head that is quickly gone. Nose is primarily toffee with some cereal and light citrus and grass. Light sweet toffee with a light bitter middle to balance. Finish is short and crisp. Mouth is medium light with soft carbonation. Decent enough for the style.

On tap at the Ottawa Beerfest. The night Marzen is a light caramel pour, earthy malts in the nose. A so so Oktoberfest beer. Medium bodied, earthy, a bit musty & tart.

(bottle) clear orange amber colour with a small white head; aroma of bread, stewed fruit; nicely balanced flavour with a very long lasting light bitter finish

Purchased a single bottle of this 2012 edition, at the LCBO. Pours a clean amber colour with a foamy off-white head, decent retention and fluffy lacing. Hardly any carbonation. Not as malty as expected for a märzen. More on the hop side. The taste confirms this, but the malt is more present here in the flavours. Bread grains, mild caramel and the hop creating a nice dry bitterness in the finish. So, hoppier than most Okterberfest I have tried, but this makes this one interesting. And let’s not forget "local" and "organic".

Bottle purchase as soon as they were available at the LCBO in Ottawa: Poured a clear amber color ale with no head, no lacing and no carbonation. Aroma consists of light sweet grainy malt. Taste is also dominated by unrefined grainy malt with some light sweet caramel notes. Body has a weird oily texture with no carbonation. Definitely not too good and even wondering if this was a bad bottle as there was no carbonation and malt notes were off – I’ll have to put this on the re-rate list. Re-rate 2020 Can: Poured a clear amber color lager with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry caramelized malt notes with light dry hoppy notes. Taste is also a mix of dry caramelized malt notes with some light dry hoppy notes with a dry aftertaste. Body is about average with good carbonation. Refreshing lager with easy drinkability.

I liked this one. Taste comes strong on the tongue and melts into bitter orange peel. The problem is I had this after a truly spectacular beer. The good thing for it is that it wasn’t that disappointing, considering.

A golden amber marzen with a thick lacing white head. A caramel malt aroma, with light vegetable notes, a bit of mashed beans, and sweet fruity esters in finale. In mouth, a nice crisp malt with light berry and grape notes, nutty finales, and hops coming as beer warms up. A good beer. Medium bodied. On tap at Wellington Gastropub, Dec. 11 2008.
