Flötzinger Rosenheimer Märzen

Tap to rate

Rosenheimer Märzen follows the old practice of brewing in March and serving through to autumn, though today it is available all year. The brewery links it to the Rosenheim Herbstfest, where Flötzinger runs its own festival tent. It shows a full malt flavour of bread crust and light caramel, a rich body and a creamy head, with a mild, lightly herbal hop from Hallertau and Tettnang varieties and a soft, rounded finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced bread crust and toasted malt—the foundation of a classic Märzen. Subtle caramel sweetness emerges beneath, while Hallertau and Tettnang hops contribute a gently herbal, floral quality that never dominates. The overall impression is warm and inviting, with no sharp edges.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and malty from the first sip, with bread and toasted grain flavors providing structure and depth. Noble hops bring a soft, herbal bitterness that balances the malt sweetness without asserting itself; the bitterness is restrained at 16 IBU. The body is rich yet clean, finishing smooth and rounded with no astringency.
