Germany’s most popular fall beer, this "Oktoberfest-Brau" is brewed in the traditional marzen style. Pleasant toffee-like flavours, medium body and low hopping make this a seasonal lager worthy of celebration. Prosit!

Dark amber pour, small white head. Good malty, cereal aroma. Some of the malt is a little overly sweet. Good mouthfeel, good carb. Light bitterness, good malty finish. Nothing spectacular, but a good session beer i think.

Bottle: Poured a bright clear copper color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt is enjoyable though not overly complex. Taste is really dominated by loads of caramel malt with not much else to report though that is kind of the point of the style. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Not the greatest interpretation of the style but quite enjoyable nonetheless.

Quick seasonal at the LCBO in a tall brown bottle. Pours a clean deep amber colour with a big off-white head that stays a while and leaves nice thick wavy lace. Malty nose with a good grain smell that is slightly roasted, slightly caramelized. Hop is also felt with some darker bread. The taste is quite light, with again the cereal malt and not much sweetness from the caramel malt. Slight biscuit lingers in the aftertaste, but overall too mild.
