German-Style Märzen
Blink and you’ll think you’re in Bavaria. We went all in on tradition with our Oktoberfest, using imported German malts and hops with a beautiful lager yeast for the finish. Pours a gorgeous copper hue with a rich, malty and slightly sweet backbone. Our version is akin to the beer poured in the early days of Oktoberfest and, yes, it adheres to the Reinheitsgebot. Prost!

#13 Beer Republic advent calendar. 355 ml can. Clear dark golden amber with a big stable fluffy head. Bold caramel and malty notes, marzipan bread, grassy hops, pretzel, salt. Malty swee, dry bitterness, umami. Full bodied, oily texture, soft to lively carbonated, dry bittersweet finish. Excellent for the style, a great US interpretation of a Bavarian Märzen!

Can from Beerdome Webshop, Grootegaste, Netherlands, had this today after a 10km loop hike around Wolnzach. Consumed at home Sunday 5th December 2021 listening to Idles - Crawler we have a Pumpkin Cannelloni. Pours copper in colour, good clarity with a white head, some sweeteness and it's malty, toffee and a touch fruity. This is pretty good and bang on for style.

Pours clear orange with minimal head. There’s a caramel malt aroma. It tastes sweet with caramel, grainy, bready malt. Medium bodied.

12 oz. can from Consumer' Beverages, Niagara Falls. Pours a crystal clear bronze color with an off white head and decent retention. A few spots of lacing. Caramel malt aroma. Sweet caramel malt flavor to match the nose, with a slightly harsh finish. Slick mouthfeel. Low carbonation and no bitterness. Medium, syrupy body. Decent, but this is not a 99/100 Oktoberfest beer.
