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.

500ml bottle. Pours a hazed golden-yellow body with a finger-width, white, fizzy head that dissipates quickly and leaves a good amount of lacing. Aroma is malty sweet with notes of apricot and lemon. A mild toffee-cookie with some biscuit, yeast, and a very light grassy hop. Flavor is also malty with a moderate sweetness. Fresh bread and yeast, a light grassy hop, and lots of floral fruits. That toffee-cookie comes back and yields a hint of toast and honey towards the finish. A soft dryness as advertised after a very smooth, medium body. Lots of pleasant malts in the aftertaste along with some fruits, straw hops, and a light toasty cookie. Overall, a very tasty, well balanced, all-around good beer. Solid.

On tap at Club Tavern in Menasha, WI. Pour was medium clear golden with a white head. Aroma was of sweet malt, light hops, and light caramel. Flavor was very floral with a strong biscuit malt flavor. Very well blended and smooth. Good brew.

From a bottle poured a light amber color with a fair amount of head. Nice light malty flavor with a quick finish.

Bottle. Pours a clean, clear brownish orange color with a small white head that receeds to a ring. Nose is a very nice, clean caramel sweet malt with a light honey note to it. Fresh bicuits. Palate is crisp with a fizzy note in the finish. Flavor is a nice toasty biscuit with a light caramel sweetness. Finishes lightly filmy with a nice crispness.

Really the standard by which I compare O’fests. Deep, deep gold color with orange highlights and a white head. Noble hop aroma with plenty of malt and just a slight sulfury note. Flavor is intense malt but with a clean finish and noble hop character. Beautiful balance of rich maltiness without being cloying and without the caramel flavors that so many US brewers insist on putting in their beers. What a great beer.
