🌍 Austria · Helles Lager · One of 199 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

Schladminger Märzen follows the Austrian reading of the style: a pale, bottom-fermented full beer rather than an amber festival beer. It is brewed from barley malt to 12.0 degrees Plato and matured with pure Alpine mountain water. It pours golden yellow under a fine head. The nose is soft and malty with a lightly floral hop note; the palate is round, malt-forward with a hint of honey, and a delicate hop bitterness leaves a clean, balanced finish.

The palate leads with a malt-forward entry that carries subtle honey notes and a gentle bready quality.
