Absolutely traditional in design and execution, Atwater’s Bloktoberfest exhibits bready, nut-like characters with a clean, light sweetness brought to heel by a crisp hop finish.
Bavarian in its ancestry, German Style Marzens were brewed only from the end of September through April. They were then stored cold and the remainder served at Oktoberfest to celebrate the harvest and the beginning of the brewing season. The style exhibits clean, bready, toasty notes with the increased alcohol and hop bitterness required for stability during aging.

Deep orange-brown body, thin buff head. Cerealy, sweet nose, toasty, with grassy hops. Sweet cerealy body, somewhat corny, caramel, brown sugar, and herbal, grassy hops. Soft body. Sparse carbonation makes this feel a bit flat, but it has character.

Light orange with some deeper hues. Too clear. Has a nice soft yellow/orange head though. Decent malt/hops profile. Opened up with some slightly bitter/acidic malt, a little bit of straw/grainy alcohol flavor and with some hops trailing off as the beer finished. Mildly sweet with a pleasant taste, but too light a body for me to really get into.
