More like a Pilsner than an Marzen, its taste is grassy, high hoppy and medium bodied malts. Still doesnt’t taste like a Marzen though

Bottle 0.5 L. Clear amber body, with a white, frothy head, mostly diminishing but with a fair lacing. Aroma is mainly sweet due to the malt, with light hops and alcohol notes. Flavour is moderate-to-hevy sweet with a light bitter character. Body is light-to-medium with a watery texture; flat carbonation; light astringent and alcholic feelings in the finish; maybe a metallic note is also present. Not great, but a pleasent beer.

Clear, solid gold body with a receding, pure sudsy white head. Aroma has pils malt signatures but also strongly suggests sweet corn. Also includes an acrid yeast note. Sweet, pale malty flavor with honey tones and some moderate peppery bitterness. Like a generic pale lager with a little more gravity. No sign of toasted malts. Nothing compelling here.

Bottled. Golden color with small creamy head. Sweetish malty aroma and flavor. Notes of honey and low, hardly balancing bitterness. Dull.

Bottle 0,5l. Bright golden colured. A large fluffy head. Light aroma of malt. Sweet flavour rapidly leading into a heavy malty aftertaste. Dry finish.

Bottle. Frothy whiyte good mostly deminishing head. Yellow colour. Harsh bitter aroma . Hints of grass and straw. Not very balanced flavor. Only bitterness detected. Acerage finish. OK palate. Not the best Oktoberfest.

Pours straw thin white head, some lacing. Flavor is sweet, not sure I can really describe the rest. I guess corn and some bitterness. Not offensive, kind of bland, certainly not what I’m expecting for the style.

The aroma cereal malt, yeast, and grassy hops. The appearance is pale yellow/gold with a smaller medium sized head. The flavor is sweet with what tastes like corn malt and is a little more acidic than I expected. The hops give it a grassy tastes as well. The palate is thin and right for the style. The aftertaste is lightly bitter with plenty of malt. Overall it seems drinkable but not great.
