hopIQ found 10 beers that share BB Classic's caramel and malty character. The scent is soft cream caramel and malt, and the taste strikes a fine balance between silky caramel sweetness and bitter notes. This organic Märzen, known in German as Oktoberfestbier, glows amber under a dense white head. It is the brewery's answer to a classic, given extra style and class by carefully selected ingredients, and hopped with Mandarina Bavaria.
