Oct 28, 2008 Bottled at my favorite JPM training burger place near Wall Street.
Spaten Oktoberfestbier is a clear golden color with a nicely formed white head. The flavor and aroma are not ver good, but full of malt with hints of alcohol. The texture is smooth and makes for a nice burger compliment.

Oct 25, 2008 spaten is a pretty decent lager, nice and crisp, but this marzen is very mediocre, probably not as good as Gordon Biersch Marzen. Smell very lagerish.

Oct 24, 2008 Flaske. Lysegul gennemsigtig øl. Sur duft som en dårlig pilsner. Smagen er en kende bedre, men stadig ikke noget at råbe hurra for. Mundfylden er tilgengæld ok, med en anelse bitterhed der redder øllen på falderebet.

Oct 23, 2008 Presentation: It was poured from a green 12oz bottle into a dimpled mug.
Appearance: It had a dark brunt orange amber color which is very different from the light golden Spaten Oktoberfest that I remember enjoying a few years ago. The body had good clarity and the head was thin and faded fast leaving very little head or lace.
Smell: The aroma was light and had floral hops with a slight skunk popping out though sweet caramel and candy like malt notes. (My wife noted that is was like smartees candy.)
Taste/Mouth feel: It had a sweet candy like malt flavor with some mild floral hops. Hop bitterness was very light and coved up buy the sweetness of the malt. It finishes on the sweet side with hint of grassy hops. It was about medium bodied with a smooth texture and light carbonation.
Notes: Overall it was not bad but nothing like the lighter Spaten Oktoberfest that I remember which was very good.

Oct 23, 2008 Bottle from Total Wine. Pours a couple-centimeter off-white head and a standard amber color. Aroma of hops and a surprisingly funky odor of skunk. This tastes just like the smell: skunky hops, toast, grains, and biscuit. Medium carbonation and thin/medium body. A decent marzen, but very one-dimensional and boring in flavor and body.

Oct 20, 2008 on tap at metzlers in denton tx. poured a amber/orange with an off-white head. going off memory(which is not very good). aroma of malt with a little bit of earthy spices. flavor is right on with most oktoberfests. this did have a nice hop bitter to bring out the finish. a decent o-fest, but not my favorite.
