Sep 13, 2007 12 oz. bottle: Pours a clear light gold with some white bubbles, initial aroma was
faint skunk that disappeared thank God! (dumb green bottles),
some pilsner malt and sweet fragrances, faint grass, hay and bread aromas,
malt and bread taste with a small hop bite, not as tasty as Hofbrau’s Original beer,
more of a pale pilsner, the Weihenstephaner Festbier (Octoberfest) is a pale version of a
Octoberfest but has a lot of taste and body, I may try this Hofbrau in the 1/2 liter
bottles which are brown or on draft for a sample that will not be skunky.

Sep 11, 2007 Bottle. Pours a clear pale golden with a one finger lasting white head that leaves some lacing. Aroma of very fresh malt and light floral hops. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Different for a Märzen but good.

Sep 10, 2007 Bottled.
Clear golden colour with dense head. Dry malt backbone in aroma, without the regular Märzen juiciness. Bit of hops here as well. Flavour is on the sweet side with alcohol shining through. Mouthfeel lacks that spritzy, citric freshness that I want in a Märzen. Good hoppy finish.

Sep 8, 2007 Bottle poured a yellow-dull gold with a lot of carbonation streams. Good sized white head. Aroma was little funky , malty, grain and bread. Flavor was a little off; a lot of grass and corn/funkiness. Good for an event like oktoberfets, but didn’t like it very much.
