Looking for $224 beer. Busy work day. Typical marzen. Malty, little bready. Okay enough. Pic is of my sister’s cat.

16 ounce can. Amber orange pour. Creamy beige head. Toasted malt aroma. Sweet toasted malt flavor. Hints of caramel and herbal hops. Smooth and drinkable. Faithful to the style.

Can that was pushed in the back corner of my fridge. Aroma is showing me light caramel and lager yeast. Taste is sweet malts, a tad of biscuit with a normal co2 level. Body is on the light side even for the style. Very average.

Can says 5.5% - may be different. Pours murky tea into a stein. Off-white head quickly recedes to nothing. Sweet caramel and vanilla aromas. Sharp with sweet nilla wafer and caramel upfront turning to mild earthy bark in the medium length finish.

Poured into a mug, the appearance was a deep muddled burnt orange color with a thin cap of a white to off white foamy head that dissipated fairly quick. Moderately concave lacing hit the sides decently.
The aroma starts off caramel and toffee malty sweet with some grassy sweet to bitter hops balancing in nicely. Slight dried clean earthiness.
The flavor balances nicely between the earthy and grassy hops to the clean sweet caramel, toffee and bready malts. Very clean and nice. Superb clean malty aftertaste with a touch of nuttiness. Quick semi-sweet caramel-esque finish gracing a touch of the grassy hops.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Mild carbonation yields to the grassy hop bitterness having enough harshness.
Overall, good Oktoberfest that I wouldn’t mind having again and perhaps with some soft pretzels and spicy mustard or even some bratwursts. Definitely a food beer.
