Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Märzen · One of 85 Märzens in hopIQ

Wies'n Märzen is brewed especially for the Rosenheim Herbstfest, where Flötzinger runs its own festival tent, and is sold as a seasonal beer around the festival. It pours a rich gold with a light amber sheen and a fine white head. The nose is malty and sweet with herbal notes and a hint of yellow plum. Old hop varieties from Hallertau and Tettnang add a mild, herbal bitterness to a full, soft malt body, and the finish is smooth.
