From a bomber. Slightly sweet aroma and perhaps some perfumy hints of citrus. Yellow and sortah brown maybe orange inthere to. Wew, quite a impact at first, seemed a little bitter for a fest but after the session continued, it got a little better. Decent co2, yes, cleans up after you drink it for a while. Some sweet cloying attributes but never rude. A little better than most fest beers.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a longish lasting white head over a hazed golden orange body. Aroma of toast, butter, caramel and styrofoam. Taste is toast, light diacetyl and even lighter hops. Fizzy mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pour is a dark amber with a smallish beige head. The aroma is thick and sweet... but not very complex. Almost has a bit of a stale beer smell to it... like that bottle you find half full a week later. In spite of that, this beer has a surprisingly thin texture... I thought I would be drowning in syrupy malt sweetness, but there are vast holes in the palate development where virtually nothing is going on. Right off the bat, nothing... then slowly a bit of caramel maltiness and then-wait for it-then a bit of a hops spiciness finishes things off... Completely underwhelming...

Thanks to OhioDad for sending this one. Starts with a huge, rocky tan head that forms easily over a brilliantly clear amber body. Bready malt aroma slightly punctuated by a hint of flowery hops. Light, toasted marshmallow sweetness in the flavor. Light, creamy smooth body. Not an overly assertive example of the style, but a well brewed, cleanly made beer. I’d drink this again.

Hazy deep orange body, medium, quickly dissipating light cream head. Toasted caramels aroma with yeast highlights and a suggestion of butterscotch. Flavor is also quite toasty with plenty of caramel/brown sugar, flower petals, and a slightly bitter finish. Bready but not too complex. Well-made but I couldn’t really get into it.

YEAY, finally, I found some more brews from Buckeye. NICE dark amber brown- small head. Nice, sweet smelling, maybe appley-- but probably not. I keep smelling apples tonight. Huh. Kinda dirty taste. Not really what I expected (or wanted). Kinda funky, and not overly pleasant. They can do better.

Thanks to alcfron for this otherwordly 22oz Marzen. I wonder if it is so named because of the color? It isn''t much of a stretch to say this beer is "Mars-colored" orangish-red. Medium-thick off-white head that lingered, and decent lacing. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Slick and sweet flavor of malt that threatens to become too much, but luckily there is enough hops finish to keep it from being too sticky-sweet. Another decent beer from Buckeye.
