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.

I’m a little biased toward the taste of marzens, and also to almost everything ayinger puts out, but again, good amber color, sweet aroma, solid taste, good finish.

on draft freakn frog las vegas: poured nice brown orange color with a tan biscuit head. nose gives you a bit of malt but served too cold to tell. flavors of nice bread and nut malt. with a nice med. bodied backbone on the palate. quite a light beer but good and easy to drink.

Bottle on 10/20/06. Pours a clear amber/gold with a huge rocky head leaving excellent lace. Grain and caramel malt aroma. Sweet toffee dominates the flavor, but some light bittering hops bring the sweetness into balance. Medium body without stickiness, rather surprising considering the fact that it is predominantly sweet. A fine example of the style.

Pours a sparkling clear amber with a frothy beige head. Nice lacing. Clean bready malt on the nose with faint earthy hops hiding in the background. Light to medium bodied and slick (almost creamy) with a crisp, clean finish. There is just a whisper of metal at the finish. Solid toasted bready malt sliding to a lightly sweet note before toggling back to the breadiness and a crisp, light hop finish. IMO it’s lightly better than Paulaner (more complex) and is my favorite Märzen to date.

Orange in colour with aromas of malt, noble German hops, and sulfer. Surprisingly hoppy up-front flavor before moving into the caramel/malt territory. It gets downright grainy on the aftertaste. A little uncomplicated, but still pretty solid.

This is a good German interretation of the style. Medium bodied with a great malty sweetness. Easily the equal of a Paulaner.

Pours a hazy amberish-brown, with a small rocky head. This has a great aroma and matches the flavor profile perfectly. Slightly sweet toffee maltiness, has that slightly toasty cereal graininess, with a small amount of fruitiness, and herbal hoppiness in the finish. Extremely well balanced, a shining star in this category.

Crushed with Jakebra. Now that is a smooth mofo of a Oktoberfest. Lots of sweet malts and a great mouthfeel. Probably the best Marzen I’ve had so far in this life.
