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.

wonderful aroma of the farm during harvest. so well balanced with slick caramel sweetness and (thanx austone) buttery taste and mouthfeel. malty and full of grains with slight fruitiness just barely present and a perfect moderate alcohol content that is soft and not at all weak. just right for the season and one of my perfect pints.

Had a liter of this at gingermans in a über stein that I ganked. Light brown pour, mellow notes of caramel and earthy malts. A nice way to celebrate Oktoberfest.

Pours red-copper with a good sized light beige head that lasts a long time and leaves decent lacing. Aroma is lots of caramel, toasty, sweet and grainy malts. Hops are present but merely provide a grassy, leafy backdrop to the spectacular malt nose. Flavor is basically a repeat of the nose, with the addition of some nice toffee, buttery and nutty malt notes takeing over quite a bit for the grassy hops. Finish is a pleasant continuation off the toffee, and grain malts, with some leafy and a tiny bit of bitter hops. Body is medium, a little sticky, and a little over carbonated. Overall pretty good, probably one of the best marzens or oktoberfests, including viennas, that I have had.

Absolutely the best Oktoberfest available in South Carolina. Can be hard to find, but it is out there.

Draught at Mallaskukko. Copper, firm white head. Toasty, sweet malty aroma, dried fruits and grassy hops. Caramel malty, toasty flavor, buttery nuttiness and herbal hops in the finish. A bit over carbonated palate. Nicely chewy märzen, just a hint more hops and it’s there.

pours a golden clear with a orangish hue, with big off white head this the highest ranked marzen i could get my beer monger hands on in chicagoland area bottle 1.9 oz if my facts are correct this is one of the 5 breweries in germany that has been supplying beer for octoberfest since its beginnings. aromas are of malts and hops taste is of slightly caramelized mallts and a very nice mild hopping, thin and smooth,the best of the germanns

Floral hoppy aroma, sweet malty, dry and bitter taste. Mouthfeel is soft. Most impressive example of the style so far for me, this is really good and now I get the idea of one liter pints...

This was a good oktoberfest.... on tap at winking lizard... amber poor with nice creamy head and good lacing. carmel and malt notes with a crisp macantosh finish... Oktoberfest needs to last longer
