The marzen style of beer is often called octoberfest. Marzen is derived from the German word for March the month this style is traditionally brewed.
This beer has a standard octoberfest aroma, with a light hop smell and a lager aroma. The color is a light amber that is very clear. The head starts very thick, can take over the glass filling it with more foam then beer, given time it will fizz away to just a light covering.
The taste is traditional beer taste, dry and bitter. There is some hint of malt caramel, and some notes of hops. Overall not a lot of taste. The mouthfeel is thin with some carbonation and easy drinking.
I am not a fan of octoberfest beers and this is a fine example of an octoberfest beer. I think they just don't have much taste, and what taste they have is too thin.
