Spaten Oktoberfest Ur-Märzen

Brewed by Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu (InBev)
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Munich, Germany

Bottle. Pours a glowing dark amber with a one finger creamy white head. The nose is heavy malt, some spice and light grassy hops. The taste is toasted malt, some sweet caramel and grain with a slight peppery hops finish. Medium creamy body. Nothing exciting, just a well put together beer.

Ugly brown color, like tea; thin head dissipates quickly. Smells faintly sweet, taste is a bit sweet, a little maltiness, faint bitterness; watery. I am not a fan.

A fun fall back beer. Excellent for a classy game of flip-cup or beer pong, a wonderful chug. Malty, sweet, unobtrusive.

Despite the fairly high ratings, did not particularly impress me. Dark orange-amber color with a white head. Lots of malt on the aroma. Very malty; slightly sweet caramel malts and a tea-like flavor to it. Pilsner-like grain flavor and mild hoppiness. I’ll take a Sam Adams Octoberfest over this one.

copper color, 1 finger head. this tastes like it could be good, but unfortunatley it tastes as though i got a skunked beer...or at least i hope its skunked! i will have to give this another go when it comes back around.

Pours a light amber with small white head. Malty sweet aroma. Honey sweetness in the flavor. Good beer.

I have to say, I bought up nearly all the stocks at my local beer store.. kept going back because this one went down so well... would love to have it on a year round basis! Great malty aroma and flavor. excellnet hop bitterness to malty sweetness ration. Good head retention, and a really smooth on the palate! I have to say, this is my favorite Oktoberfest as of this review!

Pours a clear dark amber, with a light off-white head that doesn’t stick around too long. Nose is slightly bready, sweet caramel. taste follows suit - a nice, light, sweet breadiness couples with a lightly sweet caramel note. Very drinkable. Carbonation is middle of the road, over a medium light body, with just a hint of stickiness. Nice beer.
