Tipples Beer Review #49 - Six Strings Marzen (Australia)
This week I'm up on the balcony again for a perfect summer summer sunset and a lovely beer.
The Beer is from Six Strings, which is a brewery just North of Sydney in Australia, it opened in 2012, and produces a range of beers all available in cans, and as you may guess has a whole guitar rock vibe to what they do.
This beer is a Marzen which is a germanic oktoberfest beer, basically a powerful lager - Given the music leaning, the fact that it's called Ramstein is kind of cool.
As you can see it comes in a very cool half litre silver can with a angry looking ram on the front, I particularly like the way that when you place a beer next to it it's reflects it.
The beer itself looked amazing too. It's a almost luminance orange colour (the photos with the light sky in the background don't do it justice) It looks solid if that is a thing with tiny bubbles as a good lager should.
It has a nice malty backbone a hint of sweetness, perhaps even marmalade qualities, low soft carbonation makes it much easier to drink that the name would suggest. Not nearly as punchy as I expected.
All in all a fantastic oktoberfest beer which is doing a great job on a cool late summer evening.

I miss Sydney so much. Thanks for sharing the balcony view. I’m not a huge fan of Marzens but your photos make it look tasty.
Sounds like we have very similar tastes @cryptictruth! I was about to say pretty much the same thing.
Marzens are old of the few type of lagers than I like, each to there own I guess. I'll also claim some sort of Sydney/Melbourne rivally,and claim Melbourne (we I live) is better but I can see the appeal of Sydney as we;ll
I can't comment on the Aussie part because I've never been. (hopefully in the Melbourne area next christmas!)
Lagers on the other hand, not a big fan in general. Though The occasional Bock or Dunkle ain't bad.
Great color. Sounds like a beer I would like. Malty with marmalade. Yum.
not had the pleasure of sampling a beer from Six Strings but boy does that look like a tasty brew! That can design is another level too!
I agree this beer looks great, I think I would love it!!
Nice review mate, and a cracking background in that last shot... Spent a few month in Sydney in 2008, great city!
Love the name, and here's a song by Rammstein called "Sonne" which has the chorus "here comes the sun". Quite fitting for your beer in the sun. I love Rammstein so much. :D
