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.

Full-bodied, a bit to sweet.

500ml bottle. Golden Amber hue. Corn, butter and slight bananas in the nose. Also get a nice mild cinnamon and caramel aroma from the malts. Three fingers of off-white head. Sweet grainy, malt flavor. Definitely malt driven, and the hops are mild and smooth with a lingering tingling sensation on the tongue. This beer is at least medium bodied, but the caramel malt smoothness makes it very quaffable in the coming chill of Autumn. Another delicious brew from Ayinger, and the best Oktoberfest of the year, thus far.

Clear amber body with lots of carbonation under a small white head. Apple fruit, toasty malt, and some oxidation in the aroma. Light toasty malt, green grape skin, red apple, and a suprisingly chocolately finish. Tasty but it seems a bit stale.

A good oktoberfest, but not the best one out there. It has that traditional flavor, but I wasn't feeling how sweet it was. Maybe a little more hops and a little less sweet would do it.

Bottle. Doughy, sweet malt aroma. Hazy, amber with a fluffy off-white head. Nice lace. Very flavorful for only 5.8% ABV. Malty and moderately sweet. I can imagine how good this would be fresh from the tap. I may just have the opportunity to find out next Friday as a local German pub is serving it for their Oktoberfest kick-off. A little sweeter than I prefer, but better a little too much flavor than not enough. And frankly, it’s dead on to style.

Bottle: Nice orange color with a huge white head. Taste is malty with some hops kick. Floral hop tones, sweet malt, a bit of yeast, and spice tones make this a nice Okto brew. I enjoyed this one very much!

Bottle. Pours golden orange with an off white head. Sweet toasty malt aroma. The flavor is sweet caramel and bready toast. Pretty good.

A solid caramel, malty brew with hints of citrus, fruit. A bit dull and shallow.
