Spaten Oktoberfest Ur-Märzen

Not a bad brew, but also not the best Spaten. Pours a clear amber with a good scent of hops, i would buy again in the late weeks of September to feel as if I was in Germany

Purchased a 24 pack at Costco over the weekend to celebrate Oktoberfest. A great beer. Pours smooth with a nice head if you want it. Mouthfeel is great as the beer is very pure and the flavor is accented by mild hops and spices

On Tap at Brau Haus a local German bar in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Amber in color, a great tasting beer, one of my favorites!

On tap. Poured a clear copper with a decent white head. Slightly foamy. No real lacing to speak of. The aroma was a mix of sweet malt, some hops and a bit of brown sugar/caramel. If there is any spice, it’s not much. The flavor was a less hoppy version of the Spaten Premium. They ramped up the sweetness and backed off the hops. Not in the same class with the Optimator and I think given the chance I’d just as soon drink the Premium.

On tap at TapWerks in OKC. Pours copper with very little head. The beer lines had obviously not been cleaned in a while, because there was a sourness and sharp bite to this beer. Tapwerks needs to clean up their act - - - AND their beer lines. They’ve ruined what is a very nice beer.

Bottle. A nice nutty malt smell with notes of molasses/sugar. Taste is slightly sweet with a decent finish. The head lasted about 10 seconds, but the carbonation was perfect for this beer.

Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a clear pale orange color with a decent layer of off white bubbles. Sweet malts and subtle hops. Light to medium bodied, well carbonated and smooth. Ending is slightly sweet and lightly bready.

Bottle. Poured an amber color. Smell from pouring reminds me of Peroni due to slight skunk smell. First taste has a malt flavor. after i swallowed i could taste the hops. I liked that aspect of it. First impression, not too great. Final impression, this is a good beer.
