“O’ ZAPFT IS!” Every year, the Mayor of Munich Kicks off Oktoberfest by tapping the first keg and then declaring “O’ZAPFT IS!” (Translation: “IT IS TAPPED!” ) And boy do they ever tap. Oktoberfest revelers have appetites like lions - consuming about 440,000 sausages and 1.75 Million gallons of beer. This session Marzen is perfect for prolonged revelry, with rich malty flavor and 4.6% alcohol for good times all day long.

Can. Caramel malt, tin, and hay aroma. Amber with large light tan head. Moderately sweet caramel malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Light metallic aftertaste. Decent - easy drinking.

Can: Clear....amber/gold with a large white head. Caramel, grain scent. Taste is light....caramel malt, a bit of toasted bread.....very little in the way of Oktoberfest spicing or richness....nothing awful here, just runs to the bland side. To paraphrase Yosemite Sam: "A would-be Hessian Session without no aggression....."

Aroma is just plain "beery". Flavor’s on the bland side. Slightly malty, bit of fruit, on the dry side. Except for in the finish where there is a bit of sweet. Body is slightly thin. Forgettable brew.
