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.

Golden orange with a large frothy off-white head. It has a sweet, lightly hopped aroma. The medium body is lively and finishes semi-dry and lightly acidic.

Pours hazy amber color with off white head. Sweet fruit, caramel and bread aromas. Flavor is moderately sweet caramel and some fruits. Medium body with soft carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. An excellent Oktoberfest brew.

1 pt 9 oz bottle. Nice amber pour with a thick light tan head. Aroma of caramel malt. Fantastic taste of malt and sugar with that familiar Oktoberfest sharp finish.

Draft. Pours golden amber with a creamy, off-white head. Hoppy aroma, with hints of yeast, malt, spice, and wheat. Medium body with a weak finish. Sub-par Oktoberfest.

Exactly what I want an Oktoberfest beer to taste like. Pours a rich brown-gold with a lingering head. Malty aroma with slight hints of grain. Flavor is nice malt with a little hop, which balances out well. Smooth with a nice finish, sweet yet mildly bitter. Great stuff.

Bottle. Pours a clear deep golden body with an orange tint. Medium sized with head with some decent lacing. Really hard for me to pick this aroma out but I got a lot of cereal and malt with the smallest amount of yeast, fruit and hops. Crisp, smooth, mellow, full bodied mouthfeel. Nice balance of sweet malts with a slightly bitter finish. Very easy drinking beer. Really enjoyable.

Tap at some North Seattle bar and grill.

Pretty amber pour, pretty off-white head. Soft malty aroma with hints of fruit; lovely flavor of whole wheat just out of the oven, light orchard fruits, a decent hop touch in the close. Full-bodied rather than ultra-sesionable yet easier to quaff than 95% of the local stuff. Pretty darn classic.

Bottle. Pours an attractive light copper with a frothy white head. Nose of rich caramel toastiness and noble hops. Notes of toffee, bread, toasty rich maltiness followed by balancing herbal, earthy hop character. The takeaway is pleasant, non-cloying malty sweetness. Very satisfying. Body is medium full, with soft carbonation. Great o-fest.
