Sep 24, 2007 Pours an amber color with a full off-white head. Coats the glass nicely. Aroma of roasted malt and caramel. Smooth sweet malt taste along with maple syrup and brown sugar. Very little hop bitterness; almost undetectable. A quality Marzen in the Munchen tradition.

Sep 23, 2007 Had way too many of these on Tap at Octoberfest in Addison, TX. Reddish amber color with white head. Not overly malty. Great Marzen

Sep 23, 2007 Pour s a nice, clear amber, with a fine head. Smells of malts, bread.
Taste of malt, with a hint of hops, and fruit, maybe apple? Malt not too overpowering, just nice and balanced.
Finished very clean, making me want more. As a fan of Marzens, I have had some that were overly "malty", and tough to finish. This is easy to drink.

Sep 23, 2007 Hope it is the 2007 version - Bev Mo (Union & Camden - San Jose CA)
Unfortunately this was not a great example - was a little light-struck
Pours like a gorgeous O’Fest with that traditional reddish amber with a lasting off white head... very nice malt nose... a little muddled (??)
The taste is wonderfully complex malt richness with a restrained hop bite... the darn off taste makes it hard to appreciate this beer... I can almost pick out the smooth creamy feel but distracted by that slight metallic note
Overall: Rating past the off flavors seems a little lacking comparing to the other wonderful O’Fest like Ayinger or Hacker-Pschorr

Sep 23, 2007 Updated: Sep 30, 2007(Bottle from Alko). Slightly darker than a basic lager with frothy head. Malty, sweetish, full, slightly hoppy and all the way smooth. I need to have another one of these, but it seemed a bit flat and uninteresting compared to Ayinger Oktoberfest. Still good and dangerously easy drinking for such a high alc vol..

Sep 22, 2007 I am a big fan of the Paulaner Hefe so I was really looking forward to this beer. Unfortunately, it was a thin watery brew that lacked any complexity. It was quite malty and had a slightly sweet then soapy finish. Not a great Oktoberfest.
