Uttendorf Märzen

Tap to rate

The aroma is strongly hop-driven, and that hoppy push carries on into the taste. Slim on the palate, this Märzen closes with a pleasant hop bitterness. Brewing in Uttendorf reaches back to 1600, as local historian Max Högl found, which overturned the founding year of 1721 that had originally been given for the brewery.
