Märzen

Tap to rate

Schleppe Märzen is the mild Märzen of the Klagenfurt brewery and is poured on draught at the Felsenkeller beer pub next to the brewery. One third of it is blended with two thirds Schleppe Dunkel to make the house Mischbier. The brewery's Pils is hopped more strongly than this Märzen.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Märzen

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, light transmission. Fine white head forms quickly and maintains steady lacing down the glass. Carbonation is crisp and active, with small, persistent bubbles rising steadily.

◌ Aroma

Restrained and clean on the nose, with soft grain notes from gentle Pilsner malt. Noble hop character is understated but present, contributing faint herbal and slightly floral notes. No yeast-derived esters or phenolics; the bouquet remains malt-forward and unobtrusive.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and slightly sweet, with a malt-driven palate that emphasizes bread-like grain character. Bitterness remains low and balanced, lingering at 18 IBU without asserting dominance. Mid-palate is light-bodied and dry, allowing the beer's underlying sweetness to surface without cloying.

◑ Finish

Short, clean finish with a gentle grain aftertaste and minimal hop persistence. The mildness that defines this Märzen carries through, leaving the palate refreshed rather than marked.
