This beer comes out of the tap a dull rust color and produces a good head. There is not much to the aroma besides a little hops and yeast. It is a smooth beer with a mild taste fades fairly fast.

A lovely marzen beer, if you try this you should have the Miss. Blonde also. Almost a rust color with a pale white head. For some reason I found it a little mild in sweetness, but after getting through the first drinks its just fine.

on tap at the brewpub. pour was a reddish amber in color with a decent size off-white head. for an oktoberfest I thought this was too mild in the malt sweetness, toasted malt flavors usually associated with the style. a slight bitterness on the tail end, especially with the first few sips. still a very drinkable beer, just not quite your typical marzen.

Copper-colored. Mellow with an almost toffee tone. Nice Maerzen ... dont see this style too much ... very well done.

Orange-red with a large, frothy white head. Grainy nose is somewhat sour, with whiffs of wheat and straw. Mildly sour flavor with a light malty cookieness. Rather bland, with stale bread finish. Sampled in May: was the pub finishing off this autumn beer 7 months after it was brewed? That may explain the disappointing quality.
