Deep gold in color, this beer is luminous in the glass. From the very first sip, the full-bodied flavor is immediately perceptible – a balanced harmony of hop and malt aromas.

On tap at BrewDog Shepherds Bush, clear gold lasting white head best looking beer of the day no doubt. It smells like your typical marzen. Sweetish lager malty with some hop. Good drinkability in the mouth. Some hop character. Some malt sweetness. Like sweet straw. Once you adjust to it it’s pretty good. Hoppy finish. Yes It Won Me Over

Clear pale yellow color with small white head. Wtf, festbier? Aroma is sweet grains, not too cellar-like. Hints of honey maybe. Taste the same. Not bad per se, but what does this have to do with a Festbier?

Bottle, small creamy head, clear intense gold color, aroma of biscuit and light honey, biscuity flavor with some honey and an empathic medium bitterness, medium bodied. Drinkable but just a little too sweet.

Tap at BBC Manchester. Light golden color decent off white head. Rich bready pilsner maltiness with hints of floral spicy hops and just a touch of green apple. Nice malty Marzen beer!

Bottle from Nina’s Mini Market (2015) and Cork & Cask (2023). Crystal clear golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of grain, freshly cut vegetables, lemon and a faint hint of banana. Flavour of lemon, grass and cereal. Thin to medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Simple and clean. Very drinkable and moreish.
