Doppelmärzen

◎ Appearance

Full amber hue with excellent clarity and a rich, persistent head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the visual presence without excess aggression. The color reflects the Vienna malt foundation, displaying the warm copper tones characteristic of the Märzen style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean malt character—Vienna malt provides a soft, grain-forward foundation with distinct notes of roasted nuts and almonds. Honey and light toasted grain emerge in the mid-range, while noble hops contribute a restrained, herbal presence that does not overwhelm the malt framework. The overall impression is harmonious and inviting, with no sharp or off-putting elements.

◐ Taste

Sweet grain dominates the entry, with Vienna malt and the Žatecký poloraný červeňák hops working in tandem to build a full body. Mid-palate reveals caramel undertones and a smooth, bready quality that sustains the malt sweetness. Hop bitterness gradually emerges without asserting dominance, creating a well-balanced counterpoint that extends into a clean, dry finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is harmonious and moderately long, with lingering sweetness from the grain and a gentle hop dryness that cleans the palate. No harshness or astringency; the aftertaste remains pleasant and malty throughout.
