I couldn't wait for this to come out because I love it. But geesh has anyone else had this this year? Its overly malty and flat! Very little head and no lace at all.  Its not just one bottle like that so far, it appears to be the whole case.

I picked up a case of this as well today. Mine had great head when poured. Might want to check your glasses and make sure they dont have anything in them. I do agree that is more malty than last year. I always say, give me overly malty, or give me hop haven!

I bought a six pack last night and experienced the same thing. I think maybe the overly malty flavor is due to the low carbonation levels. It's not bottle conditioned, so why so undercarbed?

I've always found it to be too gassy, so maybe I should pick some up and try it again!

I'm pretty disappointed, but not stupid, I'll still drink it!

I kinda thought the same thing but thought I was being a diva. I am glad to know my beer sensory isn't that off. It's such a bummer on one hand because I wait so long for it to come out, but at the same time it's 10x better than the SA Octoberfest I DIDN'T have back in April.

I had a couple last night, I was not impressed. Lack of carbonation, and not a quality representation of a marzen.
