Räuschla

Tap to rate

Räuschla, Franconian dialect for a small buzz, is the brewery's Märzen and, next to the Lagerbier, its second long-standing draught staple; in the village it also goes by Narrenbier. It pours light amber and clear with a modest head. Malt leads with crispbread, caramel and a gentle sweetness on a full body, before a firm hop bitterness adds a fruity, slightly herbal edge and dries the finish. Sweetness and bitterness stay close to balance throughout.

What is a Märzen?

Märzens are Bavarian lagers with 5.8–6.3% ABV. Rich toasty malt — bread, caramel, biscuit — with clean lager fermentation and low bitterness.

Finding a similar Märzen

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same caramel, full-bodied, bready character as Räuschla will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
