I don't know anything about this imported beer but what's on the label: Malt liquor... ur-marzen... since 1397... Brewed and bottled by Spaten-brau, Munich, Germany.
I like it, though. Can anyone tell me what style of beer this might be? In color and flavor, it reminds me of Listermann's "American Pale Ale", though a bit less "hoppy". I'm no beer expert, though. I'd just like to find a kit beer that tastes like this so I can brew my own.

It's an Octoberfest, a classic German lager. And a very good one, IMHO. But unless you have special equipment and lots of time, lagers are difficult to brew.

Ah, that would explain it. When I bought my first brewing equipment kit, it included a recipe kit for St. Peter's Pilsner, I later found out a few things about lagers which would have improved the results, no doubt. I'll stick with Ales for now. I'm disappointed that the Octoberfest lager came in green bottles though...
