One of my favorite Märzens. Wish it was available year round

This year's version smells more like a regular lager than other märzens. No rich bready and malty sweet aroma. Taste has a subtle breadiness followed by semisweet malts and no noticeable hop bitterness. Aroma definitely threw me off, but it more than made up for it in the taste. Being a collaboration brew with a German brewery, I should have known better than to doubt them. Medium body with a medium-ish amount of carbonation. I can't say this is the best märzen I've ever had, but it is definitely solid and from what I've read, pretty true to style. 4/5

This is our fifth Oktoberfests in tonight's tasting. Fairly high head. Color is clear, reddish orange. Slight aroma, a little malty. Flavor is mild, light, dry and malty. Finish is light, quick and dry. Compared to the others it's a aroma is less, flavor is not as powerful and more dry. And has a rather empty finish. I was hoping for more.
