Spoetzel Brewery's Marzen-Style Oktoberfest

I don't remember this last year--glad to see another Texas Oktoberfest, even if it is likely to taste like Shiner Bock with a twist. It has '96' on the neck label--maybe this is what they brewed that year for their anniversary beer.

Pours very light orange with a ton of carbonation and a nice light tan head that stays for quite a while. Clear Shiner smell to it. It also has a sweeter malt taste to it, but to me it has hints of bock.

Bigger than the clear color would indicate, but more bland than expected. I like Marzen-style beers to be a little spicier, to feel a little more like Fall. This one, is just kind of bland.
