Triple Point Marzen

Tap to rate

An Oktoberfest lager in the Bavarian tradition, brewed in Sheffield. The brewery marks Oktoberfest every year with a party at its taproom and has now gone a step further and brewed its own festival beer for the occasion. Malt leads, with honey and tangerine flavours alongside. At 4.8% it is lighter than the style usually runs. An autumn beer, poured from the tank in the taproom and sold in cans.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Triple Point Marzen

◎ Appearance

A bright amber-gold pour with excellent clarity and a dense, cream-colored head that settles to a persistent collar. The carbonation is visible and lively, with fine bubbles rising steadily through the body. Schaumhaftung is firm, leaving delicate lacing down the glass as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy malt—clean and slightly sweet without being cloying. Behind the malt sits a subtle honey character, accompanied by a whisper of tangerine zest that adds brightness without dominating. Noble hops provide a restrained herbal and floral backdrop, typical of the Märzen tradition.

◐ Taste

Malt forms the foundation of the palate, delivering a comfortable, biscuity sweetness that never tips into heaviness. The promised honey and tangerine flavours emerge in the mid-palate as supporting accents, adding dimension without overshadowing the core malt character. Bitterness is gentle and well-integrated, finishing clean and refreshing rather than assertive.
