Can: Poured a golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet grain, malty. Taste is grain, caramel, Pilsner sweet not an Oktoberfest.

16oz can pours a dark amber with some fizzy off white head that faded completely. Nose has malt and fall fruits and some raisin, grist. Flavor is chewy with grist and some caramel now dried apples and pears, not much else. Off dry finish. Forgettable.

Dark amber pour. No foam. Sweet flavor of spice and wheat hops. Nutty palate. Nice finish.

Deep and ever so slightly hazy and muddied brownish glow with a deep amber and copper tinted body with a thinnish tan head that fades very quickly and a bit of an orange and bronze glow. Aroma of light malt and nuts with some metallic notes, a good deal of caramelised sugars and a touch of subdued lager yeast with some breadiness noticeable. Medium-bodied; Strong rich earthy malts show at first with a strong nuttiness as well and a lot of caramelised sugars with a crisp toffee-like and slightly candy-ish sweetness towards the end. Aftertaste shows the caramelised sugars and yeastie flavours more than anything with a faint-ish malt backbone and some softer grainy and deep bready flavours, but those aren't strong and there really isn't any nuttiness at all. Overall, a relatively nice and smooth marzen, with a lot of scents and flavours up front that fade to a relatively simplistic, malt and yeast finished beer with some very light sugars, but low on complexity throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 18-September-2020 for US$3,86 sampled at my house here in Washington on 09-October-2020.
