Spaten Oktoberfest Ur-Märzen

Bottle pours amber with thin white head. Aroma is sweet malt and fruit, there is good carbonation. Taste is sweet malt with little hops and sweet finish.

Pours amber with good carbonation. Frangrance malty and nutty. Clean full body with a touch of honey and hops. Very pleasant.

Bottled. My first Oktoberfest/Marzen ever. Pleasantly surprised by this. No real hop aroma, but had a nice sweet malt aroma. Very malty with some bittering hop and alcohol notes. Tasty. Easy to drink. Definitely will get again.

Had this the only way it should be searved, by the "Mas" or measure (liter) at Oktoberfest in Munich. Smooth rich marzen which natural ingrediants allow it to go down very smoothly! Proust!

On tap at the Biergarten Restaurant in Epcot, Disney World. A dark amber with a decent sized white head in the huge 1L mug it was served in. At first, tasted very similar to Optimator, with the dark roasted, bready malt flavor coming through. As it warmed, it got a little fruitier and the sweet malt came out. A good beer, but maybe not one I’d return to anytime soon.

On tap at the Biergarten Restaurant in Disney World. Sort of like Optimator Lite. Lots of sweet, bready malt notes, sort of a mixture of pale and roasted. Hops aren’t really highlighted, just there to give all that sweetness a backbone. Very nice.

Imported from Germany. Bottled. Malty and with a caramel flavor. Hints of hops, fruit and spices

Bottle. Poured very clear copper with a tall, frothy, off-white head that leaves light lacing. The aroma finds fruits and light spices with a malty background. The flavor has caramel malts backed with hops and hints of spices and fruits. Medium body, smooth texture, and sweet throughout. (Rating from Sept ’07)
