Beers similar to Gordon Biersch Märzen

Gordon Biersch Brewing Company

Märzen·United States·5.8% ABV·One of 172 Märzens in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Gordon Biersch Märzen's malty and caramel character. Gordon Biersch Märzen is an auburn lager in the Bavarian autumn tradition, brewed darker and stronger than everyday beers with deeply roasted Munich malt and only a restrained Hallertau hop addition. The malt carries the beer: toasted bread crust, caramel and a light nutty sweetness lead, with a faint herbal spice from the hops in the background. The body is smooth and rounded, and the finish closes on a lingering caramel note rather than on bitterness. Fermentation uses a classic Bavarian lager yeast.
