UPDATED: OCT 12, 2022 12 oz bottle from Total Wine and More in Short Pump, VA The Marzen poured a clear amber color with an off-white head and ample lacing. Great start! The aroma of toasted caramel malts greets you. An easy-to-drink Marzen that is not too sweet. 10% more hops would also add to the experience. The Marzen has a medium body and average carbonation.

UPDATED: NOV 25, 2020 Bottle of 47 from chalet. Taste is typical okto-fest marzen. It seems a little bold at first then it starts to mellow out a little. It looks very nice with all its gentle bubbling and such in the glass. In the middle its getting almost enjoyable. Carbonation on the palate is almost acceptable as well. Decent finish. Not bad overall.

UPDATED: OCT 4, 2020 12 ounce bottle in Stow, Ohio. Smells very sweet. Amber in color with a white head. Taste the sweetness and malt. Smooth and easy drinking. Malt aftertaste. Very nice Oktoberfest beer! Cheers!

UPDATED: NOV 26, 2019 Really enjoyed this. Mildly sweet malts with a good head and full body. Low hops but balance. Good benchmark.

UPDATED: SEP 18, 2019 9/17/19 - Maumelle, Ar - Lake Liquor - 12 oz bottle. Bright orange appearance with a light off-white head. Sweet, malty aroma with some cotton candy sugary notes. The flavor has some of the same sweet accents with a little bit of nuttiness in there as well to round it out nicely. No fading to vegetable -like drabness in this like some Marzens tend to do . One of the better domestic Oktoberfests that I have had in a while.

UPDATED: AUG 20, 2019 My favorite Oktoberfest beer. Smooth and satisfying. It is only available for a limited time so pick up a 6 and try it.

B. Pours a clear Amber color with white head. Aroma is fruity with smoked berry character. Highly drinkable

From May 2008 I had a bottle of this at Old Chicago last night. Nice clear amber red pour with a very small head of foam that disappeared completely within a couple of minutes. The nose had a nice strongish bready and caramel malt smell with a noticeable fruity note and just a bit of hoppiness hiding in the background. I really liked taking whiffs of this one! Nice caramel and bready malt flavour with some fruitiness and a fairly dry finish thanks to a small but, it is there, hop presence. Wow. The more I drank, the more I wanted to drink...extremely drinkable for me(mouthfeel was nice and not a bit watery) and very satisfying. I just wish I could buy some sixers around town. :^(

Pours amber with minimal head. Aroma is fruity with smoked berry character. Flavor is crisp and smooth. Highly drinkable.

Smells rich and malty with spicy hops. See through amber color with a pale white head. Sweet but not overdone with a crisp and earthy hop bite. This is a good representation of the style.
