Märzen is our Oktoberfest-style lagerbier that originated in Bavaria. Typically brewed in March to be lagered for several months, then served in October. Brewed with large amounts of dark Munich malt as well as other specialty malts, and balanced with noble hop varieties. Notes of toffee pudding, dark fruit, raisin cereal, and cider doughnuts.

Canned 9/2/25, drunk 10/1/25.
Clear auburn with copper tints. Big, butter-beige head fades slowly to cover.
Classic caramel and toffee flanked by herbaceous hops. Earth, light toast and mineral round out the clean, fairly crisp finish. Not sweet or over-toasted and not over-hopped. Lots of honey-like character from base malt.
Spicy hops with a bit more toast in the flavor than the nose lets on. But it keeps it quite dry and there's rich malt depth with big toffee flavors. Blackberries, plums, maple candies...but nicely balancing bitterness from hop and melanoidin-like malt qualities. Clean and crisp on the finish. Maybe just a smidge too much toast overall.
