Paulaner Oktoberfest

Clear yellow of color with a white head. An aroma of malt and sweets. A flavor of sweets, malt and weak bitter notes.

Pours clear golden. Unremarkable aroma. Refreshing and a decent, if somewhat strong session beer.

Lots of spice and a little hops in the smell, great fruity, spicy taste and a lasting aftertaste. The glass I got with it had a tuba on it, which is a plus.

On tap at Tyler’s, poured into a tall Paulaner glass. Pours clear orange with nice white one-finger head and good retention. More focus on the malt with this one, not so much a hope taste. Would have liked a bit more citrus, but the malt profile was at least nice. Solid if a bit boring.

1 pt. 9 oz bottle. Smells of molasses and malt. Pours a deep copper color. Very little head here. I was expecting something overly malty, but this has a pleasant hop bitterness to it. Can’t wait for my local Oktoberfest celebration! This beer is getting me psyched for it. Addendum: lots of grain flavor towards the end of the glass.

Pours a nice orange whith hints of grey and lots of bubbles with loose medium white head. The aroma has a kiss of noble hops, some skunk, and a light roasty nutty maltiness. The flavor is unique and has a herbal candy note, not quite bold enough to be licorice, complimented well by a nice little hop bitterness.

aroma is somewhat malty with some caramel notes. flavor is bright and tangy, with some honey notes and a little soda bread bite. aftertaste has some mild astrigent character and a little butteriness. I love Paulaner’s hefe but in the end this is kinda blah.

Sweet, caramel, slightly bitter finish, blah blah blah. You can read the same description on the next 5 posts. Generic Marzen. This just doesn’t have enough oomh. Try one, but don’t bother with a six-er.
