Märzen is a glorious style of lager which reaches back to a time where brewing was only done in the colder months. The finest beers were produced at the end of the season in March, and lagered through the summer, coming out of hibernation in time for Oktoberfest. Paying homage to these seasonal brews, our Märzen is a strong, malt forward amber lager, which is complex and satisfying.

Can at home picked up from HOTM. A almost clear deep amber orange coloured pour with a lasting rocky beige head. Aroma is semi sweet, earthy cereal, biscuit, wet grass, light toast. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, nutty toasted cereals, wet grass, firm bitterness. Light metalic note in the finish. Palate is semi sweet, rounded, moderate carbonation. Lingering ntty toasted malts, blackened apple. Really nice.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Clear amber body with an off-white head that holds well. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of brown bread and dried leaves. Flavour of caramel and sweet tea. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Light fizz. A rich and beautifully balanced lager from arguably the UK’s best lager brewery.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Elusive online. Pours clear honey-copper with a creamy, off-white head. Light-medium sweet flavour with notes of sun-kissed bready malts, mild caramel, biscuits, grain, a little hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Decently balanced finish, more sun-baked and biscuity malt character, nips of dried caramel. Very nice.
