Very excited to have found this beer at Total Wine in Houston. My son-in-law and I are going to enjoy this old style German beer. Small and very Orange head. Deep red amber color. Aroma is of deep caramel malt and a little sweet. First sip was not what I was expecting. Not sweet to me at all. Somewhat bitter, some dark bread followed by deep roasted malt. Finish adds some dryness and hints of salt. Only found traces of the Marzen flavor. Very disappointed in this beer. May not be the beers fault. My son-in-law found a level of sweetness that I did not and not the bitterness that I experienced. Mr X found some dark fruit, I certainly didn't. Next time in Houston I am going to get another can and try this again in the chance that during its trip from Texas it lost its favorable characteristics. Even though it was not my favorite, it was still a good beer.

I was excited to find this at one of my local bottle shops. A true German marzen. They don’t come over here very often unless it’s one of the big boys. I was going to save it but just had to drink it. I don’t have the patience to save beers. Has a toasted caramel malt taste up front and thru out. What’s different is the light + apple taste that comes with it and a touch of dark fruit like plum. Finishes slightly dry. A tad sweet. Overall I think this is excellent. I’m a little shocked it wasn’t already logged on this app. I think I have to end on this one tonight. It can’t get better than this. Good night all
