Gold with a surging, sudsy, white head. Aroma full of herbs, lemon peel and dough. Taste is bitter with a white bread sweetness underneath. Crisp, bitter finish that’s both grainy and herbal. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, smooth and delicate feel. Good one.

"Greif Märzen", Flasche (MHD: 11.07.26) von Ambrosetti, 9.6.2026. - Tiefes Bernsteingold, klar (aber nicht blank), kurzlebiger Schaum. - In der Nase leicht scharfe, bissig orangenbittere und hopfenwürzige Hopfung über sauberem Malz. - Antrunk kernig gerstig malzig mit leiser ranziger Note (alte Hefe) und dazu passend kräftiger, schon derber orangenschalig-hopfenwürziger Bittere. Leise röstiges Malz mit blasser Karamelnote. Durchschnittlich rezent. Im Abgang weiter unfrisch und derb bitter. - Eigentlich schätze ich ja kantige Biere, aber hier sind die derben Züge für meinen Geschmack etwas zu stark ausgeprägt. Im Kellerwald-Radau fällt das vielleicht nicht so auf, daheim schon.

Bottle, brought by hand to Japan by a friend of mine. Deep golden orange color, clear, with a huge, rocky head. Malty, bready, toasty, nutty, nose. RIch toasted malts, some caramel, lots of bread. Very rich and malty. Flavor is sweet and malty. A bit simple, some caramel, bread. Definitely some fruity esters. Light citrus and herbal hops. Finish is medium bitter, rich malt, light estery fruit. This is super fresh and tasty. Simple but lovely.

Bottle at the bar at the brewery. Clear deep amber colour lasting cream head. Hoppy aroma. Some sherbet hop. Hoppy throughout. Quite unusual. The sherbet hop thing. Smoke maltiness. There is an aroma that i know and can't place. Some bread or malt. Its decent. Clean. Just a little different to other kellerbiers. Odd. Nice but odd.
