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!

Can from Beer Hop. It pours clear copper with a decent frothy white head. The aroma is earthy, brown bread, rivita, cereal, leafy hops, touch of spice, dull caramel and a touch of fruit cake. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, brown bread, light caramel and toffee, touch of toasted sugar, earthy, cereal, brioche, fruit cake, leafy hops, light spice and a splash of cola with a smooth brown bread finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not big and showy, but well done. Strikes a nice bitter - sweet balance. Very moreish.

12 ounce can. Clear orange gold pour. Large frothy beige head settles to a small creamy cap. Subtle toasted malt nose. Flavor upfront is toasted malt with a hint of brown sugar and spicy hops. Notes of earthy baked bread while hops lean toward mild citrus with a herbal, leafy character. Great flavor and imminently quaffable. Prost!

I’d call it a vienna red, and it fantastic. It tastes ale-like. Malty, and cara fruity. Might be like old style oktoberfest beers. But is nothing like current ones. Very crushable, an amber for a summer day. Sterk ams

Clear amber body, thin off-white head. Nose light, leafy, caramely, and toasty. Body nicely balanced sweet-grainy with toasted sugars, cereal, and leafy notes. Clean, solid, sessionable.

Can, 0.355l. Aroma of caramel, toasted malt, flowers and dried fruit. Pours clear amber color with thin creamy off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet caramel and bread, following is grassy, dried fruity and slightly medicinal, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is average bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Oktobersweet symphony…
