   Brown's Oktoberfest poured a fairly clear, dark red light brownish color with a thumb width, off white head.  The aroma was malty with some spices.  The body had a light sweetness up front with a malty backbone.  There are some spices in the middle with a decent amount of hops at the backend.  The finish is very tame, with a very light dryness to it.  Overall, this is a solid, yet very interesting beer that I would love to try again.  It is one of the more balanced marzens I have had, avoiding the overly sweet flavors that others have and the spices are the difference here.  This is well made beer that I would like to try again.    

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
