MET Supermarket, Brooklyn ($11): Pours an amber color with a good looking head. Aroma is mostly malty with some notes of hops. It gives you a pretty basic sense of how this is gonna taste, which is also malty with a few sweet notes. There is a prominent hop presence, but in the moderation that is in keeping with the style. Definitely a good beer to session with.

12 oz bottle. First of the season for me, pours an amber hue. Not much going on with the aroma, a little malt some sweetness nothing overwhelming. The marzen is pretty standard, not great, but I’d drink it over sam adams and harpoon. A bit malty with a thin palate.

Deep transparent orangish red pour with thin white head. Aroma of crackers, doughy malt, leafy hops. Flavor is crackery, kind of nutty. Some leafy hops, mild sweetness. Pretty crisp for a Marzen. Mouthfeel is medium with high carbonation. Finishes a bit bitter. I don’t have a lot to say about this one. Just a simple, inoffensive Oktoberfest.
