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

Thought they would really nail this style, but not so much. It’s pretty good, but certainly not an upper-tier Oktoberfest.

12 oz bottle purchased from Ocean Wine & Spirits. Pours a transparrent orange with a large off white frothy head. Aroma of spiced malts and a slight touch of honey sweetness as well. Thin bodied with a watery mouthfeel and light carbonation. Bready flavor with noticable maltiness, and a slight bit of sweetness. Pretty standard Octoberfest brew.

12 oz bottle-Pours a clear copper color w/a slight tan head. Roasted malt aroma. Has a little bit of a floral hop bite on the front end, w/flavors of roasted malt, toffee, & almond. Kind of a standard Marzen. Smooth & easy to drink. Enjoyable.

Noticed a Victory at our local store I hadn’t rated before and scooped it quickly. Orange-ish color, thin head, that familiar malty aroma. Molasses palate, sugary, not much more going on. Typical Oct.

Unusual in that the description of this reads "in bottles Sept. to Feb." Weather this means they bottle until Feb. or keep it on the shelves until then it is nice to see a Marzen throughout the fall. I wish other companies would do this other than maintain the philosophy of its Nov 1 pull the Oktoberfest beers. I digress. This pours a standard burnt orange color with a smallish head. Mild peat malt aroma with grassy hops. Not too sweet, faintly dry, and drinkable.

bottle. average fizzy tan head (quickly dissapating) into clear dark amber body. minimal lacing. aromas of light bready rye and molasses. flavor is a muted sweet. watery texture, flat carbonation, medium to long finish duration. ok beer, nothing special.

First sniff of the aroma took me back to memories of Genny lager. This did have something sweet added to it. Poured Light brown with a tan head. Sweet caramel in the lager with a hop ending.
