6.4/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 5 Overall 6.5
Clear gold with a three finger head. Aroma is light, well-balanced, full of grains. Taste is refreshing, well-balanced with grains, a great summer time beer.

Bottle. Not a very good beer. Skunky, with a slight malt aroma. Taste like a traditional mass marketed beer.

Bottle. Nice dark color. The appearance is the thing about this beer. Flavor was a toasty coffee flavor. Aroma malty, slight hints of chocolate.

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.
