Grimm Artisanal Ales

Märzen·United States·6% ABV·One of 209 Märzens in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Festooning's malty and caramel character. Festooning is Grimm's Oktoberfest Märzen-style lager, released once a year at the start of autumn. Like all of the brewery's continental lagers it is brewed with a traditional double decoction. German Vienna and Munich malts give an amber colour and warm notes of honey, caramel and fresh-baked seeded bread. The flavour is malty-sweet, the body crisp, and a subtle bitterness keeps the finish from turning heavy.
