not sure if i would have albeled this an oktoberfest/marzen, but a nice easy beer that proved to be good for a session. abv is not high enough to be a factor, and the taste was good enough to last through six bottles and not get sick of it. good malt/ hop balance, no real distinguishing flavors or tastes, some yeasty malt notes, not sweet like a true marzen, but out of 6 other beers i kept going back to this one.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. White head quickly disappears to skim surface. No aroma. Crisp with light caramel. Abrupt finish.
