Bottle - 330ml. Limpid amber body with good carbonation and an average off-white frothy head. Its malty/hoppy aroma carries brown sugar and caramel hints. Taste is smooth and well balanced. I was expecting something a slightly more complex and robust. It ends with a decent bittersweet finish. Average Marzen.

Bottled. Poured clear medium ambery-orange with a short cap of well-retained off-white head. The aroma picked up sweet floral-dusted toasty caramel with faint lemon and grassy accents.. became VERY sweet as it warmed. The flavor was also mighty sweet.. toasty caramel at the core with mildly bitter herbal and grassy bitterness.. left a tacky caramel sweetness at the finish. Light-medium bodied and too sweet on the palate.. grainy across the middle.. tacky at the finish. This was drinkable, but definitely not great.

Maß at Armbrustschützenzelt on 9-29-07. Pretty much the same aroma and appearance as Hofbräu and Spaten, but fuller malt flavor. Very tasty. (6,3,7,3,14=3.3) Rerate: 12oz bottle back home. Much darker with a more toasty malt character than hofbrau. I quastion if this is the same beer that they serve at the festival actually. Good looking dark amber with a nice head though. I can’t believe that I gave this a three for appearance when I had it out of a Maßkrug.

330ml bottle picked up at a store in Trier. Clear golden body with two fingers of white foam. The fading foam left some lacing on the glass. Perfumed aroma of sweet grass. Malty sweetness in the direction of caramel and a light taste of fruit. Overall rather tasteless and too sweet. Disappointing (13.09.2007).

Bottle - label lists alc. at 5.8%: Pours a clear amber-bronze with a off-white head, some effervesence, aroma of toasted malt and some malt sweetness, nose is not as sweet as some other Octoberfests, an even balance of malt and sweetness with some faint toasted malt, this was ok just not as enjoyable as a few other Octoberfests, some hop bite on the finish, comes up pretty clean and dry on the palate, this was ok.

This is an outstanding beer. It has a beautiful color with a taste as crisp and refreshing as its aroma. Highly recommended.

The Second Oktoberfest that I have had and probably the best . Excellent dark amber colour and a smooth, great taste. I drank this out of a shaker.

Keg (Gallows Bird, Espoo, Oktoberfest 2007) Sharp sour malt aroma. Slightly too fizzy, spoils the palate. Hasd a slightly plasticky taste, when warmed up actually tastes of something - a rather plain malt. Rating marked down in "overall" because the Paulaner website, which I used to try to verify which beer I’d had, completely sucks donkey cock.
