Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu

Märzen·Germany·5.9% ABV·One of 198 Märzens in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Spaten Oktoberfest Ur-Märzen's caramel and malty character. The Ur-Märzen is the amber Oktoberfest beer Spaten ships to the United States and other export markets, a separate product from the golden Festbier poured at the Munich Wiesn. It pours deep copper with a cream-coloured head. Toasted malt and caramel lead the nose. The palate is malt-sweet with toffee, bread crust and a touch of honey over a medium body, before a short, clean bitterness closes it out.
