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.

Wow!! Super smooth. amber body, white to beige foamy creamy head, some sweetness and though it has 5.8% i doesnt have a negative impact in its flavor, the aroma was floral hops with little carbonation

Pours a dark orange with a big white head. Floral and malty aroma. Taste is pretty good. Malty. I drank this out of a lager glass

Amberish in color with a large delicous looking white head. Slight spiced character in the smell with some malts there as well. Taste is carmel, malty, slightly sweet. Well balanced.

Bottle. Really nice amber color. Smells of malt with just a tinge of hops. Really great flavor. Another great beer by Ayinger!

[Rerate 7 / 4 / 7 / 3 / 14 ] Pours a very clear light orange with a large foamy white head. Nice spicy malt aroma, light caramel and a good amount of hay. Medium bodied with weak flat carbonation. Flavors are quite balanced, lightly rich caramel malt with some spicy grassy hops. [8 / 4 / 8 / 3 / 16 ]Pours caramel/amber with a large foamy off-white head. Lovely spicy, caramel malt, and floral hop aroma. Really smooth barley-wine like caramel malts, warm and honey sweet, the hops really sit nicely behind the malt. Nice full/medium mouthful and gently carbonated.

Pours a beautiful orange amber color with a nice fluffy medium sized head. (quite large for a marzen) is a bit limony and sweet and of caramel. also many some notes of nutes and toffee. Mouthfeel is pretty mouthcoating and very sweet. The alcohol content while it is moderate is pretty will hidden and its only appearence is in the aftertaste which has a bit of an acidic bite. Great marzen nonetheless. I might add this beer probably is even better when fresh.

Nice deep amber coloured body with a frothy off-white head and a orange tint that makes this beer look exactly like the style should. Aroma of deep caramel malt, toffee, light nutmeg and cinnamon with some faint yeast qualities. A great looking and smelling beer! Medium-bodied; Sharp maltiness up front fading to a light spiceyness along with some vegetable tastes mixed throughout. Aftertaste shows some of the bitter malt and some light pit fruits. Overall - this one looks and smells great, but the taste and palate are just ’decent’. Overall, a good marzen to drink, especially if you want a German...but don’t look here for the one and only beer to drink during the season. I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Vienna, Virginia on 28-November-2005.

Ayinger Oktober Fest-Marzen pours an amber-orange, and the aroma is malty and kinda fruity
