This beer is 5.6 % ABV not 5.8 %.
It pours a nice clear golden yellow color; Nice foamy head and little lacing; Smell is malty; Taste is malty, clean and crisp; Mouthfeel is smooth and medium carbonation. Easy drinking beer for those hot summer days.
¡Salud!

I guess I have to thank the Soccer World Cup for this brew, 'cause a local supermarket is now offering 7 beers from the Kulmbacher brewery in a sort of a celebration or homage for the host of this sport event.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I'm not an expert on the style, no style, actually. But this one doesn't seem to me an Marzen-Oktoberfest, but a typical German Pilsener.
Maybe it's a different beer since,
a) the bottle and label are different;
b) the ABV is 5.6, not 5.8.
c) it's golden yellow instead of amber as the few M-O I've tried
and,
d) it's a more balanced beer and not prone to maltiness as the few M-O I've had up to now.
Or maybe I'm just wrong. :-)
Anyway, it pours a beautiful golden yellow, with a white head that leaves behind a nice widely spread lacing.
Smell is quite balanced, bready, with an obvious maltiness.
Taste is, again, with very well balanced flavors of malt and hops.
Mouthfeel is round, buttery, with a nice bitter aftertaste.
Drinkability is high, especially on a hot Mexican afternoon. ;-)
¡Salud!

Says on the label "Limitierte sonderabfüllung zur Kulmbacher Bierwoche", or Limited special bottling during Kulmbacher Beer week". Way cool. Pours a clean, clear yellow-golden, with a dollop of marshmallow-like topping. Head slowly fades, and sticks well on the sides. Nose is easily evident and very bready, along with a light, sharp hoppiness. Good body is present here, and it is fairly smooth, with just a light touch of roughness on the tongue. Flavor is pleasantly toasty, with crackery touches providing a light sweetness. Following this up is a smidge of spicy hops, providing a decent balance to things. In general, though, the toasty maltiness is what lingers here. Nice Bier!
Prosit!!
