Oktoberfest is a Marzen – a smooth, clean, malt forward German lager that was traditionally released each September for Oktoberfest in Munich. Toasty bread and subtlety sweet malt qualities emerge right before the beer abruptly, cleanly finishes.

12 oz can. Pours a copper/amber color with a largish off-white head that has fair retention. The aroma is medium in strength with some roasted grains, caramel and some peppery herb. The taste is mild roasted grains, breads, herbs and some caramel. Bitterness somewhat higher than I usually expect in a marzen. Palate is medium and crisp/ Finishes short with some lingering hoppiness. Overall: Decent Oktoberfest brew.

Can. A really good canned marzen beer. Amber in color with a nice head. A malty sweet aroma. Taste is sweet upfront with a nutty, roasted grain finish.

Can: Poured a clear brown color ale with a medium size off-white head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of dry caramel malt notes with some cereal notes. Taste is mostly dominated by light dry caramel malt notes with light dry hoppy notes and a clean cereal finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Easy drinking Oktoberfest.

12oz can. Clear copper body. Steady, small, off-white head. Nice malt tone, delicate hop balance that fades right out into a malty finish. Caramel smoothness. Good.

Pour is a clear copper with an average white head. Aroma is toasted white bread. Flavor is more toasted bread. A little thin but not as sweet as some American versions of this style.

Caramel malt and hay aroma. Reddish amber with moderate light tan head. Moderately sweet caramel malt, and moderately bitter grass and fresh hay flavor. Good body. Solid.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a clear bronze color with a small khaki head and fair retention. Minor spots of lacing. Strong caramel malt aroma. A very sweet caramel malt flavor to match the nose. No bitterness. Definitely an American style Oktoberfest beer. Clean, smooth and simple. Medium-light body. Semi-slick mouthfeel. Low carbonation. A bit unbalanced, but I like sweet beers.

Solid marzen, hitting all the notes you want from the style. Toasted bread and caramel backed up by mild notes of candy apple and yeast, finished off by a mild floral bitterness. Nice.
