Raschhofer Märzen

Tap to rate

An Austrian Märzen is meant to show malt and hops in equal measure, and this one does: in the clean nose, creamy notes alternate with ripe white apples and lemongrass. The first sip is refreshing, then a pronounced maltiness leads on the palate, followed by a pleasant hop bitterness. An ultra-fine sparkle carries the long, balanced finish, a sign of a carefully crafted beer.

◐ Taste

The palate opens refreshingly crisp, then develops a pronounced maltiness that carries through the mid-palate with subtle sweetness. A pleasant, measured hop bitterness follows, integrating seamlessly with the malt foundation. The interplay is deliberate and proportionate, never harsh or imbalanced.
