Supplier: Brewdog Dundee Bottledog
From a lovely brewery in San Diego in California, nearly everything I've had from this brewery has been great so far. This is one of their limited edition brews, a Märzen brewed for Oktoberfest season. It's made with German style malts and hops. I served this slightly chilled.

Appearance: Brown hue, turning orangish when held to the light. The head is a slightly tan and medium thickness, but thins quickly.
Aroma: Some caramel malt but with an overpowering soapy note and an underlying lager note.
Flavour: Lots of banana on the front with a caramel back. Turns into something similar to nice fresh cloudy apple juice.
Body: Quite thick and syrupy, and a little too carbonated in the back.
Aftertaste: A complex and rich malt. There is also a slight, sweet marmite note.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, a typical but good Märzen, however, it's not my favourite style.
Price Range: £2.66 (normally £2.80) for a 355ml bottle, the right price for what it is, but there would be others I get before I get this again, maybe for an Oktoberfest party though.
Food Pairings: I think it would go well with some smoked fish, something like kippers, maybe something fresher like smoked mackerel and lemon pâté.
