Oktoberfest Biers

A nice day but another poor turn-out. Too many things going on, I've been told. Did not get any complaints from the few that showed up, so don't know what's up.
Two biers that should have been considered for this tasting were Paulaner Oktoberfest Märzen and Paulaner Oktoberfest (Wiesn)Bier. The Märzen being the original amber Oktoberfest Bier, while the Oktoberfest (Wiesn) Bier is a light lager, developed by Paulaner in the 1970's and is now the official Oktoberfest style. Sad to say, neither of these are carried by our local distributor. Back to the tasting. . . .
The Warsteiner Oktoberfest, a Märzen came in first with Festbier from Hofbrauhaus Freizen, a close second. Tucher Fest Bier, Bitburger Festbier & Ayinger Oktoberfest (3, 4 & 5) were very close. Between the two styles, there was not clear winner. The average score of the 3 Märzen beers was 3.86, while the average of the two Festbier/Wiesnbier was 3.90.
Results?? All good, just depends on your preference. Hey! That's why we have tastings.
