Beers similar to Nittenauer Festbier

Märzen·Germany·5.7% ABV·One of 168 Märzens in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Nittenauer Festbier's malty and nutty character. Biscuity, nutty and caramelly, with a note of fresh pumpernickel, while the hops add floral and lightly citrusy accents. Malt clearly leads in this malt-forward Festbier, which glows deep orange under a dense, creamy head. Several malts, including Cara Münch and Carafa Spezial, plus traditional hopping give it 5.7% ABV, 13.8 °P and 26 IBU.
