Oct 7, 2007 Courtesy juiceisloose. Pours a clear light amber color with a medium off white head. Smells of sweet grains, malts, and bready yeast. Pretty much typical of most of this style. The taste was heavy on the malts, the grains really stand out as well. Overall quite sweet, almost yrupy on the palate as well. I’m usualy not a huge fan of Oktoberfest brews, bu this was one of the better ones Ive had.

Oct 5, 2007 Updated: Oct 21, 2007Draught Pours a amber colour with a medium off white head. Aroma is weak but some bready malts are apparent. Initial taste is toasty with mild malts. Hints of spices phase in for only a short duration. Finishing with crisp hops.

Oct 2, 2007 Tap at Ayinger resturant in Munich on 9-29-07. Didn’t drink a whole maß of this oktoberfestbeir, but I wish that I had! Absolutely unique and superior to all the Munich oktoberfestbiers; what I imagine a märzen was originally like when they started serving them at the festival. Cloudy orange amber color with a big off-white head. Sweet malty aroma with lots of fruity mellon and yeast. Sweet, thick and fruity with a suprising bitter finish to round it off. I want more of this.

Oct 1, 2007 500 ml. bottle. Nice bready aroma accompanied by floral hop. Amber color with a frothy off-white head. Medium bodied with fine, creamy carbonation. Flavors of caramel, bread and flowers/herbs. Very smooth. Slightly caramel sweet. This carries into the finish, but there are floral hop notes to help balance that. Something of floral, herbal tastes at the end of the finish. It is really very tasty.

Oct 1, 2007 Bottle @ House of Brews, NYC. Pours a deep orange color with a frothy white head. Aroma is grain with a nice malt characteristic as well. Taste is grain and bread notes in the fore with malt flavors coming out in the end. Not as sweet as the Hacker-Pschorr, but definitely representative of the crisp refreshing Oktoberfest style.

Sep 30, 2007 2007 Botle from sam’s. Pours a clear orange with a little white head. Nose is heavy on the malts--you can really smell the grains. Flavor is bready with some caramel and more malts. A lot less sweet than most american marzens. I guess this on par for the style but I dont really like it.

Sep 30, 2007 Draft @ BSP, /5L. Pours a nice amber gold with thick, residual head. Nose of bread, caramel, floral hops, full bodied yet quite quaffable, tasty malt sweetness backed by well balanced bitter finish. A standard for the style.
