I enjoy Hacker-Pschorr's and Ayingers.
Paulaner and Spaten are good. Hacker-Pschorr is alright. I had the Great Lakes Brewery version and was not impressed, surprisingly. Normally their stuff is good, but it was just cloyingly candy sweet.
Märzen is a sweet beer to begin with. That's probably the reason i only drink a few bottles of it per year. I like märzen, but I'm just not a big fan of sugar in general.
I hear you. But I've never had a German beer in general that was as sweet as the Great Lakes Octoberfest. Admittedly, I am not that schooled in traditional marzen, festbier, or Oktoberfest, but nothing I've had suggested that amount of candy sweetness. Just had Hofbrau for the second time, might be my favorite.
I had a Warsteiner Oktoberfest earlier today and thought "wow, this is really good", then I had a Sam Adams Octoberfest, which I really look forward to each fall, and it was awesome as usual......I had another Warsteiner a little later, and it just really doesn't have much flavor, certainly not anything like SA. Kinda disappointed.
