Oktoberfest Märzen
An amber Märzen brewed for the export market, especially the United States, and distinct from the paler festival beer served at the Wiesn. The brewery says it revived an old recipe for this honey-coloured lager, made with light and dark malts and Hallertau hops. The nose shows caramelised barley, toasted bread and a touch of nuttiness. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, with a sweet malt core balanced by gentle spicy, floral hops, and a dry, mildly bitter finish.
