Velikonoční Märzen

Tap to rate

Amber in colour, with malt and bread crust on the nose. In the taste malt leads into a relatively dry finish, while the hops follow in second place with gentle herbal and spicy tones; medium body, medium carbonation. Historically Märzen was the last beer brewed in March and aged in cellars until autumn. The brewery's Easter special does not follow that routine, so it calls itself only Märzen-inspired.
