Oktoberfest Märzen
Paulaner Brauerei

draft pour into plastic cup. darker brown i. appearance when a dirty off-white foam head. dark bready malts, earth hops and even a hint of caramel on the nose and in the taste. pretty clean but hefty. medium-full mouthfeel. pretty good marzen.

One of the best German Oktoberfest beers I’ve had besides Hofbrau

 

light amber with nice head . bread, malt and some grassy hops. breads, malt and light bitter lingering hops. refreshing, and well integrated beer. beautiful…

 

 

12oz undated bottle.

Pours dark copper with a moderate head and retention. Doughy malt with toasted biscuits in the nose. Medium bodied with a tacky, crisp mouthfeel. Sweet malt, caramel, toffee on the palate. Finishes with a firm bitterness and lingering malt.

 

 

 

 

 

Poured into a pint glass at about 47F. Color is like a typical, every-day tea; light brown and crystal clear, with a beige head that lasts a minute or two, then settles as a fairly thick film of fine bubbles... and this lasts a good while. Smells is a typical Oktoberfest style hoppy lager, with a nice malt bill of bread and brown sugar. Hops come out in the taste, with a subtle but defined bitterness that causes the brew to finish quite dry, which I think is a very good quality. Not syrupy, not overbearing. Alcohol is almost non-existent. Carbonation is excellent. Medium mouthfeel which results in a fairly creamy brew that balances the hops and malts very nicely. Of course, this is a German-style beer, so expect a semi-sweet, lightly bitter brew that finishes fairly dry. Overall I'd highly recommended this Oktoberfest Marzen.

My second authentic marzen, and did not disappoint! Trying to stock up now for the fall. Such a solid beer for the price

Bottle poured into glass mug.
A: brown/penny colored, minimal head and lacing, pleasant streams of bubbles
S: not-quite-sweet roasty malt, maybe a touch of floral character, a bit of hop bitterness to round it out
T: I get roasty malt right up front, the faintest taste of coffee which lingers , pleasant hop flavor, bitterness on the lengthy finish. If there is an alcohol taste it is masked by the toasty flavor
M: medium bodied, not particularly fizzy
O: really enjoyable, has the characteristics I look for in a Marzen. I'm drinking this on a pleasant summer evening but this beer is definitely meant for autumn

Edit to add: 20 min later after finishing I've still got a pleasant lingering finish - very nice

330ml bottle into a pint glass, best by May 2023, so just inside the wire.

Clear pale copper body, head shrinks to a ring. Clean sweet malty aroma and taste. No nasty aftertaste. Solid across the board.

 

 

Copper-colored brew with a large white head. Toasty, sweet aroma. On the sweet side, but not by any means too sweet. Soft carbonation. There's a slight spiciness among the malt flavors, and also a fruity note that reminds me of apple.
