Beers similar to Hallertauer Festbier

Urban Chestnut Hallertauer Brauerei

Märzen·Germany·5.9% ABV·One of 209 Märzens in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Hallertauer Festbier's malty and caramel character. Number four in the Hallertauer Serie is the festival beer, a seasonal release for the folk-festival months brewed in the Old Bavarian Märzen tradition. Pilsner, Munich and caramel malts build a malt-forward profile with bread crust, light caramel and a touch of honeyed sweetness, from an original gravity of 13.8 degrees Plato. Hallertauer Perle contributes a fine, herbal and gently spicy bitterness that keeps the medium body from turning heavy. Toasted malt lingers into a rounded finish.
