Baumgartner Märzen

Tap to rate

Märzen at 5.2% in pale, straw-like yellow, brilliantly clear under a stable head. The nose is very fresh with faint yeast tones; the taste is full-bodied and balanced, remarkably easy-drinking, while the body stays very slim and light, rounded off by a pronounced yet harmonious hop note. Lively, sparkling and light in the mouth, with a very quick, spritzy finish and a whisper of hop aroma.
