This malty lager is our most award-winning beer: it took gold, silver, and bronze medals at the Great American Beer Festival from 2006 to 2010. Cutlass Amber has a toasted, biscuity character. The slight sweetness comes from Crystal malt. Vienna malt contributes a remarkable smoothness and Munich malt gives an amber color and delicate aroma. Tettnang hops infuse the beer with a slight earthiness. Formerly named Heavy Seas Märzen, Cutlass Amber is our second best-selling beer. In 2012, Cutlass Amber won a silver medal at the World Beer Cup in the Vienna Lager category.

Bottle @ home, courtesy of my baby bro, Jetson. Clear, burnt orange appearance with a fluffy, off-white head. A nice caramel, slightly nutty malty aroma with a touch of dark fruitiness. Sweet caramel malty, nutty, earthy hoppy flavor with a sweet finish. Ok.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark amber color with a large foamy head that faded quickly. The aroma was sour, tangy and a bit vegetal. The flavor was tangy, tart and lightly bitter with faint vague fruits and a hint of caramel and floral hops. The finish was medium length, dry and bitter. Medium body. Underwhelming.

Bottle from Bruisin Ales. Just past date. Pours clear amber with a foamy 2 finger beige head. Smells like mild roast caramel. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is rough/roast caramel with some decent grassy? hop. Just slightly sweeter than not. Drinks pretty well.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine South Richmond, VA, 6/14/10. Pours a slightly hazy orange color with a medium white head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of toasted bready malts, caramel and leafy hops. The taste is toasted grain, caramel and some faint fruity notes. A very mild nuttiness in the finish. Medium bodied.

Pour is a clear copper with a average white head. Aroma is of sweet caramel malts. Flavor is more dry malts and a little earthy. Decent attempt at the style.

Sample at the Texas Beer & Brats tasting 10/11/2009. The beer is a clear pale orange color with a medium thin and foamy off-white head that dissipates steadily. Spotty lacing on the glass. Mild malt and hops in the nose. Light body with flavors of pale malt, spices and hops. The finish is short with a toasted malt aftertaste. Average overall.

Bottle - thanks beachbum25. Golden pour with a thin white head. Aroma is malty sweet with a light earthyness. Tastes malty, rye, earthy, and light florals. Retains a soft sweet malty feel overall. Rather pedestrian.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 4/10/09
Aroma: Limited nose, malty spice
Appearance: Clear orange color, little head
Flavor: Nice sweetness from the malts, nice spice
Palate: Mild, smooth
Overall Impression: Not bad for what it is, you’ve got some malty spice, and basic Marzen characteristics other then that.
Plus, for anyone who knows lots of Baltimorons, the Baltimore jokes are pretty funny on the bottle, hon!

Crystal orange coloured body with a super thin white head and no bubbles to speak of. Aroma of alcohol, malt, some curacao and a bit of spice. Medium-bodied; Medicinal flavour up front, fading to a malty mouthful with subtle spices and a tiny bit of sugar taste. Aftertaste mellows out after a while and leaves a bit of maltiness. Overall, a wierd marzen - not the typical oktoberfest beer, but some spice and malt still definitely noticeable. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 08-July-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

bottle - Looks like they dropped the "Balto" from the name. Pours brown with a thin head and a very light malt aroma. The flavor is all caramel malt. It has a light body and a mild flavor. While not too bad, it’s underwhelming in pretty much all respects.
