Commercial Description:
Ayinger Oktober Fest Märzen has a deep golden color tinted with amber. It is lightly sweet with a malty nose balanced with floral hops. Its medium to big body and alcohol is not overpowering. The soft dryness comes from long maturation.

500ml bottle served in a shaker pint. Pours a clear gold with a little amber tint. About a finger of white head. Malty aroma with some noble hops. You get that good malt complexity that only seems to come from Germany. A bit of malt sweetness. Crisp and clean with a fair amount of noble hop bitterness in the finish. On the lighter side of medium bodied. Great rendition of the style.

Situation: PSU heading toward a 3-0 start--time to prematurely celebrate... Glassware: Schneider Edel Weisse.... Appearance: clear, dark copper body with subtle, steady effervescence; white head flattens quickly, which is surprising... Aroma: fragrant malts mean business--but the balance of hops forms a welcoming pro-drinking atmosphere with toffee and caramel... Palate: medium-bodied, throaty lager that engages the mouth completely; pleasantly substantial... Taste: sweet but reserved, malty but with enough bite to have a hops reminder; a bit more complex than other fests I’ve had... Overall: a classic revisited--sweet, pleasant pairing with the Saturday afternoon...satisfyingly balanced...

bottle. hazy orange pour with a sturdy off-white head and sudsy stick. aroma is light hints of sweet malts and cookies. slightly slick medium bodied. sweet bready taste with caramel, apricot, light pumpkin spices and mild hops. dry finish. a little sweet for my tastes, but a really well constructed brew.

One of the best oktoberfest beers. The malty nose and citrus hops make for a great relaxing birra!

Pours a dark golden yellow. Crystal clear with a thin, snow white head. Light, fruity aroma. Bread and sweet malt. Flavors of honey and sweet malt. Horehound ending that a rare handful of excellent marzens possess. Lighter on the palate but fuller then most marzen styles. Prickly carbonation. Probably the best marzen I’ve ever had.

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!
