The Duck-Rabbit Märzen is the lightest of our German-style lagers. This is a beer designed for outdoor autumn festivals! Soft malt flavors take center stage here. This one is subtle and beguiling

Aroma of mostly malts and caramel. Flavour is similar, malty caramel sweetness. This is an easy to drink malty brew which I enjoyed.

Bottle 12oz: Clear amber coloured brew with some hints of aramel, honey and raisins. Quite good North Carolinan version of an Munich Märzen.

Nice deep and dark copper coloured body with a brown glow and a thinnish, pure white head, only a cenitmetre or so tall. Aroma of robust caramelised sugars which show treacle, raisins, toffee and a light earthy malt characteristic with some metal and a very small amount of alcohol, all with a lot of nuts and biscuity malt along with a touch of bread and yeast. Light to barely Medium-bodied; Strong and relatively pungent earthy malt that really shows the caramelised sugars and graininess with a lot of bitterness from some leftover hops and a good deal of yeast. Aftertaste shows a lot of bread characteristics along with some earthy and grassy notes, biscuits and a dry, but pungent profile with some leftover alcohol and pungency on the tail end. Overall, a dry and very caramel-forward beer that shows a proper balance, yet leaves the complexities in an ale, as this lager is missing out on a wide breadth of flavours/scents throughout. Overall, a decent enough lager with some caramel and toffee flavours that persist and leave the palate clean but very simplistic without any more complexities noticeable. I sampled this twlve ounce bottle, purchased from Whole Foods in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 22-October-2019, right before running the USMC Marathon, for US$1,99 sampled after being registered for Next Year's MCM, on 23-March-2020. I sampled this at home in Washington on 23-March-2020.

Bottles from Big Top: pours clear amber with a small head. Aroma is caramel, some typical lager notes. Taste is a little off. Pretty sweet and malty. OK.

Bottle from total wine. Pours golden with a small white/beige head. Aroma f grass, leaves, caramel malts. Taste is slightly sweet leafy caramel malts. A bit too sweet up front for me. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Not a lot of soul, but man does that duck-rabbit have a spiffy hat. Sweet toasted caramel malts flare up and die down too swiftly, then the mildly bitter finish fades fast. Looks good, tastes average.
