Commercial Description:
Seductively smooth, this medium-bodied amber beauty is akin to the great Oktoberfest beers of Munich. All German hops make this lager true to style. Patient cold aging makes it wonderfully smooth. In bottles September through February

On tap at Paradiso, Georgetown. Quite a nice looking beer, that glowing orange one expects from the style. Moderate head, little retention. The nose is crisp, hoppy, fruity, and very appealing. Slighty grainy flavor, though, and a mouthfeel that’s a bit on the thin side. Decent.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Bright white micro head recedes at a medium pace to hug rim. Caramel and candy corn aromas. Soft with caramel from front to back. Lasting malt finish. A great Oktoberfest session beer. Next.

This would make a great session beer. Very smooth drinkability, enjoyable with an overall smooth mouthfeel. The use of true German hops makes this beer a nice choice for Octoberfest celebrations.

12 oz. bottle on 09/29/2008. Clear amber pour, medium off white head, decent lace. Caramel and floral hops in the aroma. Rich malty sweetness starts off, soft bitterness provides a welcome balance. Medium body and carbonation, sight syrupy character initially, but finishes fairly clean. Smooth, easy drinking. Good example of a tradtional Marzen.

12oz bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours amber with a one finger thick off-white head. Aroma of caramel, citrus and sweet malts. Flavor is bitter upfront, citrusy, sweet, malty, with a mellow finish.

pours a nice amber colour with a thin off white head. Aroma is caramel and toasty malt. Perhaps hints of a light floral-spicy hop. Flavour is very soft maltiness. Toasted biscuity malt. Tangy malt finish. Slight grassy hop presence

Pours copper / orange with a large rocky khaki head. The aroma has lots of sweet caramel malt, toffee and biscuits. Medium / fully body with quite a bit of semi-soft carbonation. The flavor starts with caramel malt, some sweetness, but not as much as most marzens, some spice and cracker. The finish shows a bit of spicy hops and is a bit drier. Good for the style.
