Paulaner Oktoberfest

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Munich, Germany

Bottle (50 cl) from Systembolaget. Clear golden with a creamy white head. Strong bready malt aroma, slightly honeyish, with faint grasy hops. Medium bodied with smooth mouthfeel. Flavour is a bit too much on the sweet side.

12oz. One of the better oktoberfests I’ve been drinking. Moderate carbonation, pleasant sweetness that does well with the creamy malts. Smooth and highly drinkable (should be when they’re serving it in liter glasses) Puts some domestic attempts to shame.

Pretty average for the märzen’s I’ve been drinking this week. Light grainy body and nose with a little caramel malt flavoring.

Easy drinking caramel tasting lager, not much complexity, but overall a good beer for anytime - not just the fall months.

500ml bottle labeled Oktoberfest Marzen; malt of caramel and brown sugarwith a hop note; clear copper-amber with a small beige head; flavor of caramel, a little peppery spice, and a little bitter finish.

Draught: Sweet, malty aroma. Poured amber in color with a big, rocky, off-white head that diminished. Flavor of sweet malt and bubblegum. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Malty finish. Overall, too sweet and malty for me.

Toasty caramel malt aroma. Pours copper with a beige head that went away through the course of the drink. Flavor was mostly sweet toasty caramel malt and a little brown sugar. with a crisp finish. The sweet malty flavor was a little bland to me though. It was good, but I did not enjoy it as much as some other Fest biers.

Bottle. Large foamy white head that mostly lasted. Clear light sparkling body with a golden color. Good display of lacework. Very crispy and clear taste with notes of caramel, light fruit, nice smooth hoppy feel. Medium bodied with a light dry texture and an average carbonation. Well balanced light sweet and hint of bitterness. Sweet caramel like finish.
