German malts and hops along with a long lagering give this beer impeccable drinkability. The superb malt flavor is balanced by just a hint of hop bitterness. Prost!

Pours a hazy amber from a can. Biscuity aroma and flavor, sweet malt. Good beer.

Can, from Trader Joe's. Pours clear rich yellow-light amber with large foamy light beige head, faintly caramelized malty aroma, high carbonization, mildly bitter sweetish malt taste with light caramel flavor, thin smooth body, long finish. Very smooth and delicious although lighter in color and caramelization to other marzen brews.

Can from Harvest Market Deep golden bordering on amber with a decent sized frothy off white head. Spicy floral hops with bready crackery lightly melanoidin maltiness. Medium body pretty tasty bu lacks the depth of the German beers.

Pours deep orange amber into a shaker. Tan head with excellent retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Caramel aromas. Soft with sweet candy corn upfront turning to dry earthy dark caramel in the medium length finish.

12 oz. can. Drank from the can. Middle of the road Oktoberfest. Not as much caramel malt as I prefer. Some background hops bitterness. Revisited 9/20/2021: Pours a clear bronze color with an off-white head and good retention. Caramel malt aroma. Very malty and sweet caramel flavor to match the nose. Clean and smooth with a light alcohol finish. Low carbonation. Medium body.

Can at home in NH - sourced from Big Fatty’s. Pours clear orange-gold with a slim, foamy head. The nose holds mild, lightly toasted cereal, a little doughy bread. Medium sweet flavour with creamy cereal character, faint melon, hay, wholegrain bread, honey and caramel. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish with more cereal, biscuits, light melon, understated caramel. Pretty clean and really drinkable for a festbier.

This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt orange color with a slight transparency to it. No head, no lacing.
The aroma starts with some roasty malts, slight toast, subtle toffee and caramel malts. Underscore of nuttiness. Sly sweet grassy hops.
The flavor takes in an ample amount of sweet bready to nutty malts. Dried caramel and toffee portions slide in decently. Quick semi-sweet dried nutty aftertaste slides into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable smooth feel to it. Crisp carbonation hits decently.
Overall, good Oktoberfest that I would have again.
