◌ Aroma

Clean malt-forward nose with soft caramel and bread-like notes that reflect traditional Märzen character. Noble hop aromatics are restrained, allowing the grain to speak clearly. A whisper of honey and subtle toasty undertones suggest careful kilning of the malt.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with balanced, smooth maltiness and a light bready quality that carries through the mid-palate without heaviness. Caramel notes sit alongside crisp, clean lager character, with restrained noble bitterness (22 IBU) finishing dry. The overall impression is one of approachable, refreshing balance rather than complexity.
