Laurenzi

Tap to rate

An unfiltered Märzen named after Laurenziplatz and its parish fair, served from September into the autumn. It shows a slightly hazy, deep amber body under a dense white head. Golden and darker caramel malt dominate nose and palate, joined by a light spicy and herbal hop note and a firm bitterness. The finish is dry enough to invite another glass, with caramel lingering briefly. Medium-bodied, smooth and gently crisp.

◐ Taste

Caramel malt dominates the palate with both golden and deeper notes, creating a smooth, rounded entry. A firm bitterness builds through the mid-palate, complemented by herbal and subtly spicy hop flavors. The medium body carries everything cleanly, with a crisp edge that prevents any heaviness.
