Amiga Märzen

Tap to rate

Toasted, soft and balanced: bread, toasted grain and a gentle sweetness, with caramel and pastry aromas, subtle smoke and biscuit. The colour runs from amber to copper under a pearly head. The brewery ferments it patiently, with no shortcuts and no additives. Its love-letter blurb opens by asking what the writer would do without this Märzen.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and malty, with breadiness and toasted character dominating the opening. Mid-palate develops a gentle caramel sweetness balanced by restrained bitterness (25 IBU), allowing the malt profile to remain the focus. Biscuit and a whisper of smoke linger throughout, maintaining complexity without becoming harsh or one-dimensional.
