Beer 138 - San Tomas Marzen

It appears that Bavaria Brewing does not have the monopoly originally postulated.  San Tomas beer is brewed and bottled by Inducerv S.A. in Sabaneta, Antioquia, Colombia. Sabaneta is part of the Medellin metropolitan area, north west of Bogota It was bought at La Catorce hypermarket and drunk at Mama Leny’s while waiting for Aunt Maria and her husband and children to arrive. 

The label says the beer is a lager type, produced in the style that originated in Bavaria, Germany, with an amber color, complex, balanced and elegant.  Traditionally drunk during the Oktoberfest celebration. The ingredients are water, 100% malt from Germany, hops from Germany and yeast from Europe. Serve cold.  http://www.inducerv.com/ and http://www.santomas.com.co/.

This was a nice beer with a pleasant flavor.  It is a good example of the Marzen/Oktoberfest style. There is a pleasant full bodied feeling in the mouth and a slight bitterness in the aftertaste that is quite pleasant.
