Most creamy, delicious, rich tasting Octoberfest Marxen of the dozens I have tried this year. Both from the store and local breweries. A little pricey but when compared to the others, well worth it. Must be incredible on draft at the brewery.
Poured cold in a frozen glass, nice holding head. Very very good beer for store bought beer.

This was a selection based purely upon availability--as in, this was in one of those minikegs and it was time for Oktoberfest!
Slightly spicy, pleasantly malty, enjoyed in a proper stein.

Clear yellow body with a full white head that dies down pretty quickly into a finger of foam. Skunky euro grains nose with floral hops. Taste doesn’t have skunk, but is bready yet the yeast is light but not airy, sweet malt, floral finish more euro modeled for sure. Light and frothy, yeast and malt the whole way. Easy to put a lot of this down at our oktoberfest!

Liter dimpled mug, on draught at Hofbrauhaus Newport / Cincinnati.
L: Arrived a lovely deep clover honey amber, topped with three fingers of dense white head with okay retention. Decent lacing.
S: Tough to get clearly over the nearby kitchen, but toasty and bready without much else going on.
T: Toasty and bready indeed, with subtle hints of graham cracker, dry leaves, and a soft herbal - earthy bitterness.
F: Light, even close to watery, with lively carbonation.
O: Not a bad oktoberfest at all. Solid.
