Meckatzer Fest-Märzen
A seasonal Märzen brewed for the Christmas period; the first cases reach shops at the end of October. It shows golden highlights under fine, pearl-white foam. The nose opens with hay and mountain meadow, followed by malt notes of dried apricot and pear, nutty nuances and bread crust. The first sip is soft, with caramel sweetness; the beer is full-bodied, and fine hop notes balance the malt and give it a spicy character. 13.5 °P original gravity.
