Spaten Oktoberfest Ur-Märzen

12oz bottle. Poured a dark golden color with a two finger soapy head. Smelled moslty of sweet malt with a hint of hops. Taste was mainly malt and grain with a hint of caramel, that finished with slight dry bitter hops. Would have expected more for a German Oktoberfest.

Pretty standard Märzen fare. Nice amber color, medium head. Enjoyable, not remarkable. Would try again

Bottle. Pours a clear amber and a medium white head. The aroma is a lot of malt and metallic notes behind slight hops. The falvor is smooth at first, nice malty body, but there is a nice bite towards the end. There is lacking body though, a little too thin.

Not a bad beer, but I like other Oktoberfest brews so much better. Came in a glass with a tuba on it. Score.

Green bottle. Pale brownish orange color, thin foamy head. The bottle in the picture is brown, but this is not. Bummer. Came from a 12 pack(cardboard box) so presumably not much light got in. Flavor is slightly sweet, with notes of mild roast and bread. Medium bodied with the trademark slightly metallic finish of the German hops. Doesn’t seem skunked, luckily. Pretty passable Oktoberfest, one of my favorite versions from Germany.

This might’ve been a nice beer, hard to say. The green bottle kind of ruined things. Aroma was all skunk, flavor was mostly skunk with a bit of malt and yeast peaking through. Too bad.

Death by green bottle. Pours a pale copper with a thin white head. Aroma was skunk through and though with a hint of malt and bread. Flavor was also skunked. I’d like to try this one again in a brown bottle.

pours amber gold with an effervescent head. aroma is malty and nutty. flavor is toffeel, toasted grains and little tangy. flavor is somewhat hoppy and finishes clean. pretty good.
