Hoss is based on the Märzen lagers of Germany. Rich, layered malt notes, with some hints of cherry and dark notes, dominate while the unique addition of rye imparts a slightly earthy, spicy character. Hoss finishes crisp and dry, and its brilliant red-orange color is a toast to the late-summer sunsets that make the perfect backdrop for this beer.

Pours a clear copper, with a soapy head - fairly malty nose, with light mineral character, fairly strong rye - the flavor is far more impressive than the aroma - fairly rich malt flavor, but still clean and refreshing - a nice spicy kick of rye, also imparting a grainy, bready character to the beer - some estery notes - medium-bodied - a bit of added heft from the rye - pretty good, but at 10 bucks a six pack, I will be looking elsewhere for a go-to late summer lager.
