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.

1/2 liter bottle. Pleasant aroma, fairly unimposing, a mild yet rich toffee, cookie, and a light lemon-citrus. Pour had a pretty decent, 2 finger bubbly white head, dissipates almost entirely though, clear yet not watery looking, carbonation, blond-burnt orange in color. A good tasting beer, a much smoother and creamier body than would be expected from the style, good variety of malt flavors with a nice toffee/caramel, along with a toasted cookie malt, balanced pretty well with a light citrus/floral hop that produces a very good linger with the malt. Very nice overall, and perhaps undoubtedly the best of the style i have ever tried to this point.

Malty grainy aroma with touch of spicy hops. Mostly clear orange amber with small white head. Nice malt profile in flavor. Sweet with touch of almost orange citrus notes. Medium body and mouth feel. Finish is malty with touch of residual bitterness. Very Tasty

Poured a clear golden yellow with a good amount of carbonation bubbles throughout the glass. A tall creamy white head that slowly disappeared to just a film. There was some light lacing. A nice earthy sweet malt aroma. There was an initial crisp clean taste with good carbonation. A bit of sweetness at first followed by a good hop bite on the finish. A nice blend of sweet to hops. A nice full flavor and easy drinking

Draught. Copper colour with a nice off-white head. Sweet malty aroma. Medium-bodied, sweet, malty and hoppy flavour. Well-balanced and slightly bitter finish. Very nice brew.

WITH-OUT ? 1 OF THE TOP MARZEN-OKTOBERFEST STYLES BAR-NONE.... the balance in the malt & hops is outstanding.. not over-cloying or sweet, just right amount, to make you want to keep pounding it down your worthless pie-hole

500ml bottle, poured a clear copper/amber, with a frothy off-white head. Mild aroma of sweet toasted malt, caramel, and slight hops. Taste of malt, caramel, and spices. Mouthfeel is light and dry. Pretty good!

500ml bottle: Pours a pale amber color, just slightly darker than a macro lager. Frothy off-white head. Aroma consists of sweet malt, toffee and some spice. Initial taste is of soft malts and toasted almond. Just when you get the slightest hint of hops it finishes with a sweet, lingering caramel finsh. Softly carbonated with a refreshing mouth feel. Without a doubt the best Octoberfest I’ve had so far this season.
