12oz formally capped conveyance pours copper with a bit of haze and weak white head. The aroma emits sweet lageriness, some fruity esters and a touch of yeasty spices. The taste starts with apple like sweetness and then picking up notes of winter spices and then yeasty spices. Lingering lageriness heads this into the after taste.

The appearance is an orange color with a white head. Aroma contains some citrus and caramel. The flavor also contains some caramel and citrus namely lemons. The aftertaste is slightly bitter. Overall this is a pretty good marzen.

Sampled not terribly long after the Autumn season so I can't imagine it was all that old. Regardless this beer was a wet cardboard, lifeless amber brew in a bottle.

They have been pushing Starr Hill at the festivals in north FL that I go to. First two I tried couple years ago (their IPA and Blonde Ale) were just ok, but I was actually liking this one. Tried their stout in a bottle last year which was decent too. So, basically finding them hit or miss so far....but the Festie is a decent Octoberfest. They were advertising it as an Amber at the venue, so was sampling it thinking was an amber....which seemed really good for that. But, the Marzen/Oktoberfest is more like what it is. Good caramel content...pretty smooth mouthfeel too. I would be interested in trying a 6-pack of this next season or whenever.
