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

A little dissapointing for a Victory. All malt flavor with some toastiness, but kind of stale tasting. Lightly sweet, not much else going on in this. Some pepper in the finish.

Clear copperish amber with a medium tan head. Aroma of Munich malts, toffee, dust and something that’s not quite right. Taste of Munich malts, caramel with next to no hop presence.

Overall Impression: Festbeer with a spicy hoppiness to it, a toasted flavor that reminds one of traditional Oktoberfest flavors.

Bottle from Hackomal over on the other site. Thanks! Pours bright golden amber with a thin head. The aroma is sweet and toasty with hints of earthy hops. Caramel, toast with a earthy grass/peppery finish. Pretty true to style IMO.

Poured into a regular pint glass this beer produced a amber hue with a short lasting 1 finger white head. The aroma smells like like malts and perhaps sugar/something sweet. The carbonation is light but the taste is not great. I felt like this beer really goes outside of the regular Marzen characterization. Unfortunately this is not a repeat for me.

Poured amber with a white head. Aroma of sweet malt and candy. Sweet caramel malt with some bitterness. Hint of fruit.

Bottle courtesy of GMCC2181 – thanks G! Pours a slightly hazy amber with a half finger off-white head. The nose is caramel and brown sugar. The taste is more caramel, toasted malt and light grassy hops in the finish. Light-to-medium bodied. Decent Marzen – thanks G-Unit.
