Orange leaning brown body with a khaki head. Smells strongly of peach and orange dumped into a very bright and caramel sweet marzen. Taste is so fruity it is a bit strange, like peach candy sweet, again with caramel malts right there and a hint of booze leakage. Feel is bright yet medium bodied, malty and slightly hoppy even. An odd take on the style but it is not an abomination at least

This one is clear, copper orange (SRM 11-14). A two-inch, almond pancake slowly fades to a thick blanket. A webbing of lace coats the Spaten dimpled mug, while no carbonation is visible within.
A slight sourness is unfortunate to begin with. Caramel, toasted malt and light cookie dough quickly follow. The sourness fades, either with warming or acclimation.
Mild malt and cookie dough come forward first. No sweetness, bitterness, or thankfully, any sourness. This one is very mild, yet tasty. The malt, mild though it is, fills all corners. The finish is equally mild as it lingers.
It has a medium body and the texture of satin. Alcohol is light, while carbonation is soft and creamy, both as expected.
This is a decent Marzen and very easy to drink. It would be a good choice for a tailgate or with friends around a campfire.

I agree with the above posts.
To me it has a green tea note with a lavender background. Best way to describe what first comes to mind upon first sip impression.
Something is odd, maybe hop choice?
As it warms, things go down hill.
Just not worth a repeat purchase.
I'm sure they brew better beer.

This one pours a slightly murky dark brown color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells kinda stale, with some sweetness and breadiness.
I’ve had a lot of oktoberfests this season, and this just did not stack up in any meaningful way. It’s kind of stale and too sweet, and just doesn’t have that classic breadiness that I crave in the style.
This is light bodied, but not all that drinkable.
This was a big old swing and a miss. Beer Tree has much better beers.

One at the brewery[Factory] , & now a can at home.
Canned 9/14/21 .
Almost-clear orangey amber, with about one finger of light tan head.
Smell is the usual combination of toffee,caramel and light bread crust, well-balanced. There is a slight (dried) fruitiness and hop spiciness when the head is present, and later, as it warms a bit. Seemed a bit plain at first, but improved with a slight temperature increase. (&/or the smell of food may have masked it .)
Taste is toasted caramel (in this, it is more roasty than is typical), toffee, brown bread crust, some light hop spiciness, and a hint of raisin near finish, and lingering afterward. Light bitterness.
Smooth, light-medium, lightly slick initially, with very fine, sharp carbonation tingle. Not "prickly", or "burn" , seems give a "spicy" effect , giving an impression of flavor as well as feel. Overall, definitely leaning to the dry side of the Okto spectrum.
Overall, a nice one, and very easy-drinking. Had to slow myself down to make the one with dinner last the meal. :) I do like that it is on the dry side. At times, it seems a Marzen/Festbier blend.
