Distelhäuser Märzen Urstoff

◎ Appearance

A clear amber pour with a warm, honeyed tone and bright translucence. The head builds firm and creamy, settling into a resilient collar that clings to the glass with fine lacing. Carbonation is gentle and steady, befitting the traditional Märzen character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted bread crust and soft caramel malt, underpinned by a subtle honey sweetness. Noble hops provide a barely perceptible floral backdrop without asserting themselves. Clean fermentation leaves no yeast esters or phenolic notes—just the straightforward grain and gentle spice expected of a classical autumn lager.

◐ Taste

Entry is biscuity and dry, with toasted malt building a solid backbone across the palate. Mid-palate brings mild caramel and a trace of honey, balanced by restrained noble hop bitterness that never overwhelms. The finish is clean and smooth, drying toward a whisper of bread crust and grain without any sharp edges.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste lingers briefly with a clean, slightly grainy dryness. No harsh bitterness or unpleasant astringency—just the quiet satisfaction of well-executed classical brewing.

Serve at 7–9°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The sturdy German stein maintains temperature and keeps carbonation intact. Built for long, convivial drinking.
