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 apple cider with small, quickly dissapoearing white head. Smells bready, sweet and malty. Tastes mostly like apple juice, bread, and grassy. Carbonation is noticable, but goes down smooth. No alcohol noticeable. 1st Marzen I’ve had, but this is German tasty.

pours light amber with a thick foamy off white head. Aroma is light grassy hop over a nice bready and cookie toned malt, sweet and toasty. Flavour is nice and smooth. Medium bodied sweetness, bready again with light spice cookie hints. somewhat dry finish.

Fresh bottle from Sam’s. Pours more deep gold than orange, with an abundant head and some decent lacing. Toasty malts and mild hops on the nose. Some bread and mild citrus as well as apricot. Slight gravel taste, but in a good way. Actually, this is quite bready/toasty with a rich sweet finish and full body. Best marzen out there, perhaps... that’s what the ratings say, and I don’t think I can disagree.

Brewed in Germany... Pours a golden amber color with a super thin white head and lots of carbonation. Aroma of bread, malts, flowers and caramel. Taste of bread, honey, caramel and flowers. Mouthfeel in medium in body with a slight dry sweet finish. This beer is very pleasant to drink and would be wonderful at your local O-Fest. :)

A one inch foamy tan head. This beers has a nice appearance, aroma and good carbonation. A medium mouth feel, with roasted malts and hints of caramel. Some Pumpkin and cinnamon thrown in there as well. A true Oktoberfest with that authentic German taste that is so often attempted to be replicated.

Serving: 500 ml bottle. Appearance: Pale amber with a very effervescent, foamy, white head. Okay head retention. Aroma: Light toast and cracker notes. Dead on for the style I believe. Taste: Malty and smooth with a bit of metallic and caramel notes. A bit on the sweet side. Palate: Medium, smooth carbonation. Very soft on the tongue. Medium, slightly dry mouthfeel with a medium-short, sweet finish. Overall: This one starts off great but is just a bit too sweet. Still, it is very good for the style. Worth giving a try if you are into Marzens.

Pours dark golden color with a small off whitish head. Sweet aroma, a mix of malt and floral hops. The flavor is good, mostly malty (bread), a little nuttiness and some mild hops. The flavor lasts in the enjoyable aftertaste, medium body, would love to get a liter of this on tap in Germany.
