Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Brauhaus Lemke Märzen if you want subtlety and restraint,
Spaten Oktoberfestbier if you want presence and tradition.
Both are proper Märzens—identical IBUs, nearly identical ABV—but they express the style differently. Lemke feels like the quieter Munich brewhouse; Spaten feels like the festival tent. Neither is wrong; it's about what you're after.

Brauhaus Lemke Märzen
Brauhaus Lemke is restrained in the best way. You get that toasted bread backbone and a whisper of caramel, but it doesn't shout. The finish is clean and almost delicate—5.6% ABV reads lighter than it is. This is a beer that asks you to pay attention rather than grab your collar.
Spaten Oktoberfestbier
Spaten hits you with more presence. Richer malt character, fuller body, that classic Oktoberfest malt profile—bread, honey, just a touch of toffee. At 5.9%, it feels substantial without being heavy. This tastes like what you expect a festival beer to taste like; it delivers on the promise.
