Creemore Springs Oktoberfest

Creemore Springs Brewery
Tap to rate
🌍 Canada · Märzen · One of 68 Märzens in hopIQ

Burnished caramel in the glass, brewed for the autumn festivals. Freshly baked bread leads the nose, with subtle honey and a floral hop note above it. The malt is the whole point on the palate: caramel sweetness layered against toasted bread crust, with a nutty edge from the darker grain. Bitterness stays soft and sits under the malt rather than cutting through it. Medium in body, the finish quick, clean and dry.
