Commercial Description:
The Munich Beer Festival, or Oktoberfest, is an event of superlatives - it’s the largest popular festival in the world, staging in the beer metropolis of Munich. Millions of visitors from all over the world flock along every year to enjoy its very special atmosphere. For this occasion, Hofbräu brews a rich, full-bodied beer which goes down ideally with traditional Bavarian cuisine. With its deliciously bitter taste and alcoholic content of 6.3% volume, Hofbräu Oktoberfestbier is as special as the Beer Festival itself.

Pours to a medium-amber color with a smallish white head. A drinkable beer, but nothing too terribly remarkable.

Whole Foods, Baton Rouge, La. - 12 oz bottle. Pours a translucent light orange with a thin, tight white head. Aroma is slightly corny with a hint of yeast. Flavor has some of the same elements with a touch of ripening vegetables. Not as sweet as some Marzens can be. Mouthfeel is pleasantly thick. Smooth finish, fades just a bit near the end. Average.

500ml bottle from Peckhams, this was 6%. Good rich golden colour,fluffy white head, lasts well down the glass. There is a good persistent bead. Nose is quite powerful, with nice fruity hops and soft malt too. There is a touch of sweet malt on the palate, which extends through to the finish. Good malt dominated bier.

Golden, clear, corn syrup aroma. Sweet palate, too much corny malt. Average at best.

Pours a translucent golden with an average fluffy white head. Aroma of slight lemon, hay, some yeast and a slight skunkiness. Flavor of sweet malts, sugars and overall an bit watery.

Had this on draft at a wedding reception. German breweries for the most part brew a golden colored O-Fest and this was no exception. Some hop bite, medium body and the void of caramel malts I expect in (American) Marzens.
