0,5l can from Kaufland in Bratislava. Big, white, good retention head. Colour is pale gold to gold, clear. Aroma is malty, sweet bready, honey touch, spicy. Taste is medium malty base, bready, bit honey, grainy, vaguely fruity, decent bitterness, soft carbonation, ok for commercial "Oktoberfest".

Poured into the huge dimpled mug that came with the beer, it pours a crystal clear golden colour with a large head of foam. I tried to pour it ever so slowly so the foam wouldn't be so large but what the heck, it looks gorgeous in the glass as is.

The smell is grainy, earthy, and it has a flowery aroma mixed in there. Some mild bitterness also peeks through.

The taste is of bread and grain with some mild sweetness and bitterness, both of which are showing good balance. This canned version seems to me to have of an earthiness to it than I recollect from the draughts I've had in the past. I guess I need to check my notes.

On the low end of medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Good mouthfeel, good drinkability but I reckon though I like the "authenticity", what with the huge 1L can and mug, the beer is getting warmer and warmer and I do prefer my Oktoberfests to be on the colder side when I'm drinking them and hoisting that mug is getting to be a chore. ;^)

The can is gorgeous, the beer is gorgeous, it has all of the Oktoberfest qualities I like...

Canned in a 1L size into a Mas Krug. Poured a gold, lots of foamy head (hard not when you’re tipping a 1L can). Grassy notes etc, tasted like a regular helles.

Time capsule beer with events today as I drink this golden coloured brew including a Gaza aid ship apparently attacked off the coast of Malta. Reform party upset the duopoly in UK local elections and Germany's second largest parliamentary party declared a right-wing extremist organisation by the country's own intelligence agency. This Oktoberfest effort is from the latter mentioned country and is an interesting ale-like beer - hoppy, good yeasts in both aroma and taste, good body.

1L can. Better than the first marzen style I tried from Paulaner. Amber in color, decent head but disappears quickly. Typical malty Oktoberfest taste and aroma. Not bad.

12.06.2024 Aromat raczej słodowy Złociste klarowne, biała piana Smak słodowy opiekany, z lekką goryczką chmielowa Nagazowanie średnie, kremowe, średnio lekkie. Ogólnie to przedstawiciele stylu więc trudno mówić ze nie jest w stylu, lepsza od lagerów komercyjnych dobry lager słodowy.
