Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen

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

Bottled. Light amber coloured. Unclear. Dense beige head. Sweetness, fruits and light rye bread in the aroma. Flavour is fruity and light flowery. Has a light spiced touch. Is medium bodied. Sweetish and light bitter end. Very good seasonal.

Bottle. Average fizzy beige head that mostly lasted. Good lacing. Light cloudy body with a golden color. Aroma was a lovely mix of dry/dusty and malty notes. Rye bread, grain, toasted, floral and fruity notes. Medium bodied with an average carbonation. Moderated sweet flavor with good balancing bitterness. Somewhat dry and light sweet finish. Thought this was a pretty good beer.

An easy to drink large bottle import from the D&W in EGR before it stopped carrying a good selection of beer. Malt flavor, bitter aftertaste, not a whole lot to speak of.

12oz bottle. Had this one awhile ago. I remember it was nothing special, tasted some malts, overall decent beer. I need to retry this though.

I enjoyed this one. It is easy to drink but not especially complex. Slightly thin taste. Mostly malty, with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

Like a recent reviewer I picked this sample bottle up labled as an "original oktoberfest’. Date on the lalel shows August of ’05 and I just drank it March of ’07 and it doesn’t seem any the worse for wear. I agree with other reviewers that aroma and appearance outweight the rather thin taste and slighty too bitter finish for this style of beer..still, I’ve had far worse.

Poured from a 355ml bottle into a pint glass, amber with a medium tan head. Aroma was primarily sweet malt. Taste was the same, sweet malt with a watery mouthfeel. Very thin. Nothing offensive, but not much stands out.

This bottle is over a year out of date, and none the worse for it. Aroma is sweet malts, grasys hops cutting through. Taste is similarly swet a little grainy on the malts, but still a satisfying fucker!
