Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen

Orangy amber with a sight white head, this brew has a pleasing bready/grain aroma. Malty throughout, but not heavy, its 5.8% alchohol content is well masked in the fine balance. Hop character is present but subdued.

pours a clear amber with a dense tan head. Aroma is sweet caramel and bananna. Flavor is roasty, slightly sweet, moderately bitter. sort of thin and lacks depth.

Another Oktoberfest that is nothing special. This is drinkable, and it gets me drunk, but that's about the end of it's redeeming qualities.

Aroma is metallic, and af sweet toasty malts. Very nice clear amber/orange body with a nice white head. Tastes sweet and lightly fruity, along with a metallic finish. Miouthfeel is stick and almost cloying. This was atright.

Coppery orange color. Bitter taste of hops blended nicely with malt and caramel. A delicate balance of bitter and sweet.

Brilliant orange-rust color with a weak head. Aroma is malty, bready and dry - quite pleasant, actually. Flavor starts out slightly harsh but becomes mildly pleasant towards the end of the glass: very bready and malty with a touch of grapefruit citrus tang spell a well-balanced winner on a long pair of scales. Despite the lack of head and thin appearance this beer has a lush, well-carbonated feel on the palate. Recommended!

Pours a rouge color with beige head that fades leaving nothing behind. Smelled great, with sweet caramel and vanilla notes. The flavor was disappointing, small bodied and really lacking the maltiness I look for in the style. Slight acidic sharpness didn’t seem to fit the style.

Bottle: Clear orange-amber, shining bright when held to the light, with a medium, frothy, off-white head that slowly fades to a ring before it disappears from the glass. The aroma is mildly sweet caramel, showing quality malt backbone, crisp grains, and a hint of toffee. The taste is midly sweet, very crisp and clean, with notes of lightly acidic caramel, sugar, malt, and dough. Light-medium bodied, medium carbonation, crisp and clean on the palate, with a dry finish. Quite pleasing.
