Voici notre Marzen, la bière officielle à l'occasion de Oktoberfest ! Au nez, on y trouve des notes de pains grillées et frais, de subtiles notes de miel et de caramel. En bouche, c'est riche mais sec et désaltérant sur des notes délicates de pain grillé et de caramel enveloppées dans une texture crémeuse.

Slight haze. Thin head. A little caramel on the nose, sort of crackery, a touch yeasty. Light body, got a bit of that caramel. The crackery element is not as pronounced as on the nose. Decent, could use a bit more body but there's good complexity.

473mL can, pours a hazy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma has a nice toasted bready malt character, a hint of dry caramel, and light bitterness. Flavour is dry and malty, with dry caramel, toasted bready malt, and gentle bitterness. Nice malt character, seems brewed well to style. Good stuff.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 09/16/2025) member only. Chill hazed gold with small white head. Bready honey lager with a hint of caramel malt, comes together nicely, very drinkable.

Can: Poured a clear amber color lager with a large off-white foamy head with great retention and some lacing. Aroma of light caramel malt cereal notes with some subtle light dry hoppy notes. Taste is also a mix of caramel malt cereal notes with some floral dry hoppy notes and light faint residual sugar notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Good marzen with good drinkability and nice biscuit notes. OK lager but malt bill is a bit too grainy for me.

Clean amber colour with an off-white head, average stay and patchy lacing of foam spots. In the nose, got some grassy hops at first, but after calming down, getting hints of sour-infection, but not killing it, and blending with the caramel malt base and hints of bread. No infection sign in the taste thankfully - just caramel malts, fruity-malt notes and a touch of bread. A crisp mouthfeel with a tad dryness in the end. A decent Märzen, but not one of the better ones I have had.
