I am really starting to enjoy oktoberfest beers. They are very flavorful and robust and this one is a perfect example.

Nice smooth beer. Tastes of lemon which is really odd for an Oktoberfest. Not to style, but a good beer anyway.

For those of you who haven’t had the privilege of actually going to Schell’s Brewery in lovely New Ulm, MN, you are missing out on one cool brewery. There is a large garden that has peacocks struting around and multiple layers to the garden. Oh, and this brewery does make some dam good beers too.

Another americanized octoberfest. Actually not that bad just lacking in the toasted malt and full body department.

Smells like German Beer bread! (not surprisingly) The nice head faded quickly. Good beer, but not as complex as I expected average flavor for a marzen.

If it smells bad than it probably is too old. I like it best on tap in early fall. I wouldn’t want to drink bootfuls of it, but for an American Marzen it’s pretty good.

Not bad. But not great, either. Par with the typical Oktoberfest beers out there. One thing I did NOT like was the aroma - I couldn’t put my finger on it, but it stunk. Not a good first impression, that’s for sure.

Nicely balanced for a fest - actually may lean toward hops as you go, but upfront it has a full fruity maltiness.
