Commercial Description:
Amber colored, all-malt-lager, which possesses a modest bitterness and clean aroma. Crafted in the traditional Bavarian manner and resembles the Marzen-type Oktoberfest Biers as they are served at the fall festivities in Munich. It won the Gold Medal in the 2002 World Beer Championships.

Not as bitter as some but it has a nice (if a little weak) flavor. Not better then say Hacker Pschorre or Pauliner but refreshing. I notice the water this company uses is very fresh tasting.

Good color and flavor. Not too over powering. Not as strong as many Marzens.

You fols who haven’t tried this are missing out!! Especially for 5 or 6 bucks a 6-pack! This is a very faithful interpretation of the style that thankfully is not too sweet. Berghoff is one of the best American brewers in terms of value for the money. Right on!

On tap that the Berghoff Oktoberfest event in Chicago. Average white long lasting head with good lacing. Clear medium-body amber colored beer with a clean malty aroma. Starts with a nutty malty flavor and finishes with a light hop bitterness of average duration. an enjoyable Oktoberfest beer, especially with a bratwurst.

This fire red marzen is crowned by a foamy tan head. Aroma is caramel and malt. Creamy on the palate with a mild flavor of caramel, ginger and barley. No bitterness, this smooth seasonal pairs well with a Wisconsin brat or pastrami on rye.

Had this one bottled at the Binny’s Oktoberfest in St. Charles, Illinois. Deep orange pour with a light, tannish head. Carmelly malty nose with some bready notes throughout, lightly hopped, well balanced. Good!

Orange color with a beige head. Aroma of grainy malt and a little citrus. Flavor of bitter and roasted malt. Pretty good.
