Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Munich, Germany

Amber clear pour with a ever so slight off white head that is quick to disappear. It is clear with slight carbonation. There is a grainy malt smoke flavor on nose for this light bodied marzen. There is a slight crisp bitterness on mouth along with a soft malt taste.

Clear darker orange pour white head malty sweet caramel aroma ..... sweet lightly roasted caramel taste with a light bitter finish ... simple and refreshing nice malt flavor one of my fav oktobers

reminded me of Oktoberfest in Munchen. The apperance had Reddish tint, very clear in fact. The taste was better than expected. My overall impression was: the beer was very good; the alcohol was very well hidden and it very drinkable.

tap @ chanceys. clear dark orange, thin whispy head. nose of sweat malts, lots of fruits and slightly yeasty. goes down well, tastes as sweet as it smells. could drink all day.

On tap: A rich deep amber-orange with a large puffy off white cap. Aromas are on the mark: Rich toasty breadiness wet hay and some sweet mustiness. Medium bodied, rich whack of toasty-sweet malts in the front ( decoction mashed?), nice herbal hop balance sits back a bit profiling the malts. The highlight of the drink is the middle which features a grat malt complexity...then it goes lightly dry and slightly herbal-bitter in the finish. Great stuff. If you’re a lager drinker this is pretty much bottled sex.

500ml bottle (BeerAngel) - stolen off Jarkko at work - thanks!
Rich reddy brown, healthy head. At first a slightly plasticky aroma, but as it warms the malts fill out, and it becomes quite grainy eventually. Pleasant carbonation, refreshing palate. Taste initially a bit metallic. As it warms, again, the softer malts come through and it’s a pleasantly husky graininess that you’re left with. Half a litre disappeared very quickly.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a beautiful amber / mahogany with off white head. Smells of caramel malts, sweet yeast. Tastes of roasty caramel, clean finish. Great Marzen.

On tap. Pours a medium clear golden brown with a small off white head. Aroma is malty, toasty, nutty and pretty sweet caramel sugary. Flavor is much of the same, very sweet and caramel, toasty. Nice flavorful and refreshing roundness to the mouth feel, but refreshing as an oktoberfest marzen should be. Nice spicy hop character in the finish that gives a good balance. Nice creamy body and a soft carbonation makes for a mellow and refreshing beer.
