Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen

500 ml bottle given to me by a friend. Pours a beautifule orange/amber color with an off-white head. Flavor: Sweet malt, with hints of honey, orange, and a dry finish

Bottle. Pours with a clear, light orange body and a large, creamy off-white head. Aroma of wet cereal, sweet, caramel malty, bread, clover honey and buttered toast. Taste is sweet and toasty with bread and caramel notes. Really taste actually. Medium to lively carbonation. Medium to light bodied. Crisp finish. Quite nice!

bottle. pours golden apple juice color. minimal head. aroma like cider, sweet honey, some funk.flavor is a bit understated from what I expected, but nice. malty sweetness that is a bit mild, followed by dry hoppy finish. delicate for the style

Aroma is toasty and rather bready. Pours out a burn orange with almost no head. A grainy flavor that continues the bread aroma. Body is light with a smooth light finish

Beer from Gilly’s Beer and Fine Wine in Rockville. Nice appearance, solid aroma. Flavor is good for an oktoberfest, but maybe that’s not my favorite.

Poured a apricot color, with 3 finger with head, that is pretty frothy but looks to light to hang around too long. Aroma =has a bit of an earthy smell, can detect a little spice in it, but aroma is pretty weak overall. Taste = Wonderful malty backbone, getting a sweet, light peachy flavor in this, and a toasted bready flavor also. This is a really exceptionally smooth, clean beer, feels light on the tounge. Overall, this is an exceptionally good oktoberfest, possibly even my favorite so far.

Poured from half-liter bottle. Sweet malt aroma. Clear, golden. Bubbly with thin head. Flavor is roasted malt and sweet malt. Dryer than most oktoberfest beers I’ve tried. Mellow, floral hops in back. Crisp and clean. Nice stuff.

Bottle courtesy of Sam at Hangar 24. Rating #729. Nice dark gold pour with a white head. Had a light toasted aroma, lots of graininess and slightly sweet, pretty good octo overall. (1039)
