look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

22oz bomber with one angry German scowling back into standard pint glass.

A - clear, deep amber with thin, dense off-white head that lingers a bit.

S - nose is very minimal. Mild fest aromas but it's a struggle to find.

T - sweet, thick malt. Very indicative of an American märtzen style but a little too sweet for my palate. Mild bitterness only offsets the least bit of sweetness.

M - creamy and on the medium/heavy side. Finish is moderate with the slight hoppiness coming thru then. Sweetness builds and becomes too much for me.

O - I really wanted this to be a märtzen I could enjoy but the sweetness is just too much in the end. Still prefer the German offerings. I think the guy on the front is grumpy cause he can't find a decent German fest bier in the states like me :). ABV is well hidden and the beer is pretty smooth. But for me, just average. Still an Avery fan though.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.75

Poured into a balloon glass.

Look: Nice deep caramel copper color. Thick cream colored head that recedes to thick film of bubbles. Nice webby lacing.

Aroma: Sweet caramel, malts, toffee, fruit peels.

Taste: A toasted, caramelly blast at first. Then it eases into toffee, malts, and tangy fruits. Slight burn of 9.1% alc on the throat.

Mouthfeel: Kind of sticky, alcoholic burn.

Overall: Absolutely delicious. Great Oktoberfest representation. Love the caramel sweetness.

A - Deep dark amber, lots of head and lace. This is what beers should always look like

S - Sweet. Very sweet!

T - Like the aroma, very sweet and boozy.

M - Light bodied, lots of carbonation

O - A very good Oktoberfest, much better than what I am used to trying around that time of year. Style is too sweet for me. But very good for the style...
