$0.99 from Green’s on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA as a 12 oz single. Attractive colored label (classy green color) with a ridge on the bottle at the base of the neck that is reminiscent of a Westy bottle!! ;-). WHAT A SHOCK – AB marketing outdoes creative and expressive brewing! DOH!
Pour is a slightly darker than macro lager pour, and one that produces a slightly better than average head. Still no lace.
Mouthfeel is REALLY thin and lacks any Marzen richness – disappointing. Nose is frankly nondescript and the tastes are muted.
There is a touch of Marzen sweet character, but it seems VERY “macro” based. Finishes surprisingly dry which would seem to contradict the malt based beer that I should be drinking. Odd.
Not bad, but … I dunno, it just doesn’t cut it.
