From the tap. Pours a clear, darkish amber with a nice frothy head. No lacing. Aroma is wheat and yeast, with a bit of malt. Flavor is sweet and a bit spicy, as you’d expect with the style. Palate is medium bodied, becoming much smoother as the beer warms. Overall a very drinkable Marzen.

This is a very suitable beer for the Oktoberfest if you are in Munich during the actual fortnight. Very drinkable, but in no way a fancy beer for connoisseurs. But what the heck, its made for drinking and having fun, Ein Prosit!

golden clear. Nice white foamy medium sized head. quite malty, fresh and lightly hoppy. I expected more of this beer, but seems like it is made high volumes for the oktoberfest to be drunk lots and lots from a 1liter jar and not to think too much.

(Draught at Kitty’s, Helsinki, 2008-09-25) Pale golden and clear. Medium sized quickly disapperaing white head. Fruity, malty and metallic aromas in quite light nose. Medium bodied palate with lot of carbonation. Malts, metallic flavours, some bitterness and hint of raisin in tase. Very easy to drink despite the high carbonation.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark amber with very little head. Nose is sweet caramel malt and brown sugar. Taste is all malt - rich caramel, with a slight toast to it, a very slight hint of floral hops on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a reserved carbonation.

12 oz bottle, thanks from Beerlord. Nice amber color with thin white head. Aroma is faint with the flavors before mentioned, first sip is light, then the textures creep in. I’m not as much into ambers or Oktober beers, as I like mine much darker, but this is a very drinkable beer.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into pint glass. Dark golden color with a 1 finger head which faded quickly. Virtually no lacing on the glass. Malty, nutty aroma. Full malt flavor with hints of nuts and fruit, light on the carbonation. Smooth finish with just enough hops to balance. This is an excellent example of this style. Would definitely buy again.

I had a keg of it shipped up from Munich for a private Octoberfest party. Made for a great time. THE classic interpretation of this style. Hey folks-- Oktoberfests are meant as a darker, chuggable beer. Syrupy Spatens or unbalanced Sam Adams don’t ’cut the mustard’-- with brats ’n’ kraut or otherwise, like this one. Yum!
