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.

500 ml bottle, but says 5.6% abv. Pours a gold color with a small, clingy, beige head that slowly fades. Taste is of caramel, malt and some hops. Similar aroma Has a good bitterness to it and is a little sweet. Has a foamy mouthfeel. Easy to drink and fairly enjoyable. Not as great as what I thought it would be. Neat looking bottle and cap.

Enjoyed via 16.9oz bottle. Pours a medium to deep gold. Nose of Munich malt, and a touch of fresh-baked German dark bread. Smooth and balanced on the palate; malt up front with just a touch of balancing hops. Initial hop bitterness and flavor may be a little higher, as this example is nearly one year old. Finishes clean, just a touch flowery, and just barely on the sweet side of neutral. The quintessential German Oktoberfest beer.

This guy is beautiful, with a huge long-lasting head. Unfortunately, it tastes like bread. If I wanted that, I would just eat bread. I prefer a strong, sweet malty character, this was dry and doughy. Only worth it for the bad-ass looking cap.

From the Bottle Aroma is sweet and deep very yeasty. Looks very nice. Flavor is very malty. Mouth feel is very dry and under pronounced. An interesting brew. It is cold as shit in southern Alberta right now and I think this beer would better suit the summer.

500 ml, 5.6% abv. Clear, burnt orange-amber with a quarter inch of frosting above. Aromas of grilled corn, sweet cherry, apple, cereal grain and hay. Flavor is caramel with a sour tint, hearty toasted grain and light apple. Finish is crisp and grassy-woody. Medium body is smooth, tongue-tingly and slightly astringent. Creamy lace left on the glass.

Amber with creamy head. Chocolate, spice, and malt. Refreshing and well constructed, but nothing special

Light amber pour. Whitish head. Aroma of malt, malt and more lamt. Some caramel and bready notes evident as well. Flavor is full of a nice full bodied malt, bread and some caramel. All in all tihs is good shit.

Sadly, this style is a rarity (locally-brewed or imported) in this part of the world. It was nice to sample Ayinger, which poured with a creamy head over a copper-coloured body. The aroma was of lightly-toasted malt, with a slightly sweet, syrupy accent. The flavour was bready, though the toasted malt made it more like bread crusts. Nice dry finish, but the body could have been a bit smoother: the carbonation was a little prickly for the style.
