Pours an orange amber color with a huge white head that falls off to some nice sticky white lace around the glass. Aroma is bready maltiness, caramel and some spiciness from the hops. Flavor is bready caramel maltiness with some spiciness from the hops in the finish.

Pours a deep amber color with a really nice orange hue. Really fluffy white head. Smells of sweet malts and alcohol. Taste is well balanced, but a little fizzy and alcoholic. Still pretty solid.

Malty grainy aroma with touch of spicy hops. Mostly clear orange amber with small white head. Nice malt profile in flavor. Sweet with touch of almost orange citrus notes. Medium body and mouth feel. Finish is malty with touch of residual bitterness. Very Tasty

Awesome Oktoberfest beer. A little sweet, a little hoppy, and plenty of grain dominates the palate. White head on top of a golden body, great beer.

Pours clean and a goldeny orange. Aroma is a fruity boquet that is not over powering. Tastes is bright with malts, some dried fruits and mild hops. The palet stays with you without overpowering but leaving wanting another sip. A nice beer to start a the fall season or a good evening by an outside fire.

Ayinger, you’re good! First, Celebrator is clearly the best doppelbock. Now I’ve tasted your Marzen, and it’s clearly the best I’ve ever had as well. Large bottle, just over a pint. Pours a clear orangey gold with a medium-sized fluffy white head. Decent lacing as well. Smells of caramel sweetness and yeast, with a nice crisp white grape twist. The flavor is simple and great, with more of that caramel malt sweetness and the earthy goodness of the yeast and a bit of spice. White wine dryness and a slightly bitter finish. Moderately carbonated to help cut through the creamy moderate thickness of the brew. Very little alcohol apparent, perfect for an all-day session in Munich.

Poured 16.9 oz bottle into 20 oz. mug. Nice golden amber color. 1-2 finger white head diminishing to none. Light lacing. Faint malty aroma. Medium body. Lightly sweet flavor that lasts to the finish. Moderate carbonation. Very drinkable. An excellent example of this style.

Enjoyed via 16.9oz bottle. Pours a medium to deep gold. Nose of Munich malt, and a touch of fresh-baked German dark bread. Smooth and balanced on the palate; malt up front with just a touch of balancing hops. Initial hop bitterness and flavor may be a little higher, as this example is nearly one year old. Finishes clean, just a touch flowery, and just barely on the sweet side of neutral. The quintessential German Oktoberfest beer.
