Heavy seas Marzen...Or MarzHon in Baltimore

Type: Marzen(Octoberfest Lager)

ABV: 5.75%

Color: Gorgeous Honey-Brown

Aroma: Hoppy with a hint of sweetness and light spice

Taste: Nice, friendly and not overwhelming hoppiness that mellows to a touch of spice(nutmeg? cinnamon?)

Overall: I really like Marzon beers so it didn't surprise me when I totally enjoyed this one. A Great beer to chill out with in your back yard while having some brats from the grill.

Score: 8.9/10

Dogfish Head Shelter Pale Ale Review

Type: Pale Ale

ABV: 5.0%

Color: Deep-Orange

Aroma: Sweet, sorta citrusy, with a nutty hint

Taste: Mild, uneventful, with an easy light malt finish

Overall: It is a smooth beer to drink and if your not careful you coould forget that you have already had 3 or 4. Not a standout, but good...Not Crappy but Ok...Middle of the road for me.

Score: 7.0/10
