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.

Light amber body with healthy rising carbonation and a pretty white head, citrus, freshly baked bread and mild spice in the nose. Quite hoppy for the style, with a distinct moderate bitterness throughout; bready flavors linger. RERATE: Not so assertively hoppy as it warms, with floral notes replacing the bitterness.

2003 bottle. A very slightly clouded orange yellow with some bright gold tinges. Aroma of soft and sweet nutty flavored malt and ample spiced hops. Quite enticing. Flavor is right away, moderately malty, brown bread, honey, touch of toffee and has a brilliant but short-lived crisp, clean spicy hops finish. Not a muddled note in this beer. It gets in your mouth does its thing, and clears out. Very even texture, light carbonation. I left this in the sun by accident and came back and finished off half the bottle at about 70 degrees and it was still delightful. No thinning or wateriness in here either. Quite spicy; no real daring flavors but well-made and delicious.

This is a good example of why the Germans have a great reputation for making good beer. Aroma is bready, on the toast side. This is much rounder than most beers in the style. Sweet malts, present hops, nice finish... I could easily gulp this like water. It is easy to drink. Even though I find this an unusual Oktoberest I still can see myself drinking it with a slice of pumpkin pie.

Hard to describe color, orange honey colored maybe? Pleasent melding of hop and malt with neither really overpowering the other. Sweet, earthy, dry taste with a clean crisp finish. A very good Marzen!

Generous head over the light copper color. Nose had a bit of a nutty quality along with the malts. Slightly sweet taste of toffee. Smooth, pleasant medium-bodied mouthfeel.

500ml bottle, great Ayinger bottle cap! Clear amber lager, with a large eggshell white head, that its thick and luxuriant. Nice carbonation strings. Great creamy toffee malt aromas, slightly toasty. Malty semi-sweet caramel start, longer semi-bitter finish and a slight hint of hops in the after taste Very nice palate, just rolls over the tongue , but is not in the least boring. But makes for a drinkable brew indeed.

This beer is the closest thing you can get to actually having the beer they serve at the fest. Although this particular brewery is not represented at the fest, it is the best representation of the beer they serve and it brings back a lot of great memories of when I was there.
