Jan 28, 2003 Updated: Sep 23, 2003This tasted more like a pale ale than an Oktoberfest style. Cloudy orange color with a white head. Kind of hoppy and not really what I expected. Decent beer. Tasted on draft 9/22/03 Outstanding Oktoberfest/Marzen beer. Very malty and sweet, but finishing dry at the end. The finish makes you want more and more, just as I did of this wonderful beer. Outstanding. Now to find a fresh bottle to re-rate this again.

Sep 4, 2004 Really a nice Oktober fest. Brilliant amber color, poured without much head at Resi’s in Chicago. A nice floral character, maybe a bit of toastiness in the body and somewhat dry--which is a good thing. Drinks really smooth enough that the extra point-eight percent alcohol catches up with you. A delight.

Oct 28, 2009 Weak corn aroma. Clear amber, thin white head. Cheap malt flavor with a marigold finish. A poor showing for an authentic German Octoberfest.

Oct 5, 2003 Wow, what a beer. 500 ml brown bottle. No freshness date, but who cares? This was a fresh batch, that much is certain. Poured out a slightly golden shade of yellow. Had a fluffy white head for awhile, but slowly faded to a solid lacing along the edges of the glass. Aromas of fresh malts, slight hops aroma as well. Tasted really good. Refreshing, and crisp. Left a sweet aftertaste. One of the best Octoberfest beers I've had. Too bad it set me back $3.15 each. I'd like to afford a case of this stuff. Tasted especially good after packing a truck for moving for 3 hours.

Oct 16, 2008 a very good Marzen. Enjoyed it very much. Ayinger is an excellent brewery and this beer proves it.

Nov 16, 2006 Bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar: Sweet grain aroma. Golden amber color with a generous off white head. Flavor starts honey sweet and grainy followed by some hop spice and a lightly dry finish. Medium bodied and tangy with lively carbonation.
