There is sauerkraut in my lederhosen. I repeat: There is sauerkraut in my lederhosen! Which is exactly the way it should be when drinking a Oktoberfest-style Märzen, brewed with 100% imported German ingredients. Bring the bierhaus to your haus with this award-winning, ubër popular seasonal beer that delivers a blitzkrieg of rich malt and caramel sweetness. Pairs perfectly with traditional festival favorites, like Bauernseufzer, roasted pig knuckle, and Bavarian soft pretzels that are larger than your head. Oans, zwoa, g’suffa!

6.9/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7
Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to mug.
Appearance: dark amber color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which settled off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: caramel notes, sweet grains and some earthy hops
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet malty quality; finishes malty and lingers for a bit
Texture: medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but also some stickiness - not cloying - just a little sticky but the carb seemed fine
Overall: an okay Marzen, maybe again. Maybe...

Aroma of malts and caramel. Flavour is moderate malty sweetness with some faint hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Simple and easy to drink.

Pretty tame marzen, but flying dog can do no wrong. Delicious.
