Swalden28 (1439), McKinney, Texas, USA Dec 16, 2007 I really enjoyed this beer and I shared it as well. Nice deep amber color, had a nice sweet, spicy taste to it. Had nice head retention. I recommend drinking out of glass.....Not something I would drink all the time...I’ll probably actually drink it just during the Octoberfest season. Sticks73 (28), Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 15, 2007 Bottle. Oktoberfest Marzen. Poured to a nice dark amber bronze color. The head was medium and a ltight tan, that quickly disappeared. Little fizz, medium body, clear, light sryupy consistency. Lite aroma, from the looks I thought it would be stronger. Sweet cider smell. Very sweet tasting cider, honey, and pear. A bit malty as well. Short beginnig, quick middle, and short after taste but the sweetness lingered on too long. pericles35 (24), Somerville, Massachusetts, USA Dec 7, 2007 This was easily the best beer at Oktoberfest. Still slightly sweet like most of the Oktoberfest beers, but the finish was good. PattyBoy (302), North Liberty, Iowa, USA Dec 3, 2007 Poured amber, not much head. Malty sweet, slight bitter finish. Kind of average. DTM (541), Winters, California, USA Dec 2, 2007 Poured an amber color with a large head. Pretty smooth with a little bit of hops toward the end. Little better than average beer. timfoolery (482), California, USA Dec 1, 2007 Updated: Dec 3, 2007Poured a copper hue with limited head. This brew is similar to lagers in my opinion. I’m much more partial to thicker Marzens and beers in general, so it didn’t impress. Good beer for casual drinking, but not one I would point out in a store. AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Nov 28, 2007 Pours a clear amber color with an off white head leaving a nice lace. Malty sweet red licorice smell with spicy hops. Medium bodied with nice carbonation. Malty, grainy sweet taste with a sweet n’ spicy euro hop finish. A smooth, easy drinking brew. Probably much better fresh than it is in a bottle.oct 2001
DuffMan (2719), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada Nov 27, 2007 Slightly orange amber, hazy, decent off-white head. Malty and sweet, with a dry finish. Better than Becks Oktoberfest, but not as good as Spaten in a head-to-head competition.
