Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen

old rating: 7/3/7/4/15 - 3.6
pour is a clear light orange with a small off-white head, some lacing.
smell is faint, caramel, few hops, subtle malts, grain, touch of roasted nuts.
taste is crisp, light caramel, nutty, malts, ends dry and just a touch bitter.

Bottled at Loch Ness, Stockholm. Copper colour, creamy head. Caramelly nose. Medium sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Cardboardy malt dominates. Mushy mouthfeel. Modernized, simplified and dumbed down - all the things that characterizes production cost cuttings. The most disappointing German oktoberfestbier ever.

12 oz. bottle. Pours out a clear old gold color with a medium off white head. Aroma of malt and honey with small hop. Taste is also of honey and malt with a nice hop presence. Much stronger hop in the taste than in the aroma. Finishes with a little bite, but leaves no lacing behnd. A pretty good oktoberfest.

pours a caramel color with a 11/2 finger bubbly off white head. aroma is strong caramel malt with toffee and honey. has a medium body with ok lacing and descent carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but a little stronger with a touch of hops showing through. has a small dry hop aftertaste, all in all not bad of an Oktoberfest. i would take this or capital over all of the Oktoberfests’ i have tried so far and readily available in the area.

$1 bottle at grottos on main. Have to say it was old because the date said 07.05 and it probably month/year. Tastes very sweet as you’d expect but you also get the toatsted malts in there too. Im giving this a better rating than i feel it deserves because it was old .

Still one of the best Oktoberfests i’ve had. I love the orangy color and the strong bold hoppy flavor. I could drink this all year round.

on tap. Very nice hoppy malty aromas, and flavours. A great hearty lager. Good malt notes. Very crisp, just a superb marzen.

Yum, in a style that is often messed up in the states this german original gets it right. Quaffable and appetizing, get me a liter, please.
