larstangaa (104), Denmark Apr 13, 2008 Klassiker - med en del maltsødme, let humle, lidt karamel. Let drikkelig - men ikke ringe...
ericandersnavy (86), denton, Texas, USA Jul 12, 2008 bottle. poured clear amber with a thin cream colored head. retention was ok, could be better. aroma favored caramel with a slight citrus. flavor was caramel with some hop bitterness in the end. a bit watery though. v64 (53), Austin, Texas, USA Jul 4, 2008 Amber in appearance, small head. Strong malty aroma. A bit too hoppy to taste for a Maerzen, in my opinion. It’s not as sweet compared to others either. Some carbonation. Not a bad beer, but there are others of this style that are better. hop_lover (101), Corpus Christi, Texas, USA Jun 11, 2008 Amber in color with a rich creamy head, and a smooth, lightly hopped flavor. D_malone102 (61), Denver, Colorado, USA Jun 6, 2008 This tastes oxidized and skunky, even for an import. I love octoberfests in general, and I know a lot of people enjoy this beer, so maybe I got an extra old one.
The color is a nice amber, good for the style.
There is a good malty flavor under the oxidation, but The hop character might be a tad too much for the style.
pojo41 (278), Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA Jun 6, 2008 Bottle. Poured a copper color with a fluffy off-white head. Very nice malty aroma. No real hop character in the aroma. Good flavor of malt with a touch of sweetness. Not as sweet as some maerzen beers. I thought this was a very good beer.
