Tasting Notes
This traditional German lager pours a bright copper-hued amber, and reveals all the sought-after hallmarks of this style – caramel, hints of dried fruit, a subtle toasted malt note, finishing incredibly crisp & perfectly dry. Practically marches itself over to the table to be enjoyed with supper — SO FOOD FRIENDLY!
Method
A beer rich in malt with a balance of clean, hop bitterness, similar to the Vienna lager. Toasted bread or biscuit-like malt aroma and flavor is to be expected. Originating in Germany, this style was traditionally brewed in the spring (“Marzen” meaning “March”) and aged, or lagered, throughout the summer.
