Bottle. Although this is keg only, so cheers Lee. Hazed gold. Slim white foam. Nose has pineapple and peach. Soft brett. Wine barrel. Touch of white grape. Taste is sweet tart juicy fruity and light bitter. Loads of depth. Unreal juice. Tart juicy funky finish. Couldn’t elaborate too much because it got sank in minutes. Like literally 4 or 5 minutes. Ace.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Clear pale coppery gold. Sturdy just off white foam stays the course. Nice malts here coming across nutty and sweet biscuit like. Touch of spiciness. Actually a tad festive. Hops too are spicy and mulchy. Taste is fairly sweet with good leafy hop bitterness. Very sinkable at 5.8. Semi dry semi bitter finish. Tasty marzen with good malty character.

Bottle via the online shop. Hazed deep ruby red. Lovely thick dense lasting head the colour of loganberry mousse. Nose has sweet and juicy red grape. Whiff of the apple. Whiff of blackcurrant giving an inevitable ribena vibe. But this all about the grape. Big St Lamvinus vibe. Taste is semi sweet, with a definite dryness and moderate acidity. Chugs easy overall. Juicy lightly funky finish. Ace. Lots going off.

Bottle. Kernel advent box. Pretty hazy gold. Beaut of a Kernel swede. Nose has pineapple weed. Pineapple flesh. Some ripe strawberry. Maybe some sweet red grape. Taste has a definite sweetness first up with a moderate bitterness. There’s a bit of an astringent thing going off too. Like a fresh hop “greenness”. Whatever it drinks fine with decent body and fine foamy carbonation. Bitter finish builds and lingers. Quite a curious bev overall.

Can picked up at the brewery. Hazed straw gold. Decent white foam as far as TP beers go. Nose has sweet lemon and a bit of mango. Some tinned fruit syrup. Clean malt backdrop. Taste has some fruity sweetness but is mostly dry and a little bitter. Bright light and easy drinking. Dry-ish finish.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Pale-ish amber with a very light haze. Thin sturdy sticky white suds. Nose has lightly spicy mulch like leafy hop. Light sweet nutty malts. Taste is extremely well balanced nutty sweetness and leafy well mashed tea bitterness. Mouthfeel is creamy and soft. Bitterness rises and lingers on the finish. Wow this is a fantastic marzen for my liking. Not too sweet or cloying. Tastes incredible. Honestly drank this in about 3 minutes.
