    Nice tasting brew.

    Was a little disappointed in this brew. Don't get me wrong this was a good tasting beer just really did not reminds me of a traditional tasting Oktoberfest beer. Lacking the traditional spice and bready flavors found in most good marzen style beers. Has a nice malty and slightly sweet taste. Overall was a nice tasting beer. Fermented 3 weeks carbonated 2 weeks and conditioned for 5 weeks.
