Broke out the ol’ stein for this.

Beautiful pour, clear and golden with just a touch of tan and a heady cloud on top.
It’s lightly —yet vibrantly—hopped, with a pronounced spicy note on the nose. The sip follows, backed by a sticky malt finish.

Bright and clear, light golden body; moderate amount of carbonation; thick, rocky head, white and sticky; semi-creamy in places. Light malt nose, biscuit; light floral and spicy hop aroma blend; nice subtle esters. Biscuit flavor with a peppery hop bitterness; toasted grain. Full-bodied; smooth and silky on the palate; light dryness.

A most pleasant and enjoyable festbier.

“A smooth, pale German-style lager with a moderately strong malty flavor and light hop character that balances strength with drinkability. Also represents the modern German beer served at Oktoberfest!”
—————————————————-
I didn’t add this in the marzen category because it’s light and claims to be a Pale German style lager.
