Commercial Description:
This is the German version of the beer, described by Jackson in the 2000 Pocket Beer Book as "much paler (than Oktoberfest-Marzen in the US), golden, albeit still with a creamy aroma and pleasant malt accent."

Not what I expected. Very light floral aroma and flavor. Very thin feel. Have a Heiniken instead. Much cheaper and tastes the same.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear yellow with a lacing white head. Cornish and slight bitter aroma. Flavour is dry and cornish with a vague spice note and mild cornish base flavour. Lingering malty finish.

(Draught at Pikkulintu on 2008-09-05) Pale golden. Clear. Medium sized white quickly disappearing head. Lightly grassy nose. Medium bodied and fresh palate with lot of carbonation. Hint of grapefruit, bitterness and fruitiness in taste. Long lasting bitter aftertaste.

2:nd of 4 sampled oktoberfest beers from systembolaget. The arom have some DMS and litle else. In the taste the alcohol is clearly present and the body is to thin. All 6 of us that tried this beer thought this was the worst of the oktoberfest beers. I wounder if there might have been a bad bottle as Spaten usually make much better beer than this?

Clear straw yellow color, white head. Malty, grainy, slight acidic scent. Malty, grainy, sweet taste. Taste is still rather refreshing. Herbal aftertaste, also sweet. Medium mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Quite ok, in spite of the not-so-good smell.

Great malt flavor matched well with good hop aroma and bitterness. Very drinkable and refreshing. It’s light and a good fest beer!

500ml bottle. Pours a rich golden colour with a delicate malt and fruit aroma. Tastes like a sweeter take on a lager - nice continental malt and hops. Very refreshing and light. Good stuff.
