Obertrumer Märzen

Tap to rate

Subtly hopped, so that its spicy, lightly caramel-like side comes through: Obertrumer Märzen is a golden, mild and full-bodied bottom-fermented beer. It is brewed from whole grain with Austrian and Bavarian malts, open fermentation and a long maturation under Slow Brewing principles, and was called Trumer Märzen until the Obertrumer line was redesigned in 2020.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Obertrumer Märzen

◎ Appearance

A clear, bright golden hue with excellent transparency, characteristic of a well-crafted Märzen. The head forms dense and persistent, with fine Schaumkleiden clinging to the glass walls as the beer is consumed. Carbonation presents as moderate and refined, appropriate for the style's bottom-fermented tradition.

◌ Aroma

The nose reveals Austrian and Bavarian malt character at the forefront—subtle caramel sweetness and toasted grain notes sit alongside gentle spice from noble hops. There is no aggressive hop presence; instead, a soft, clean background allows the malt's honey-like warmth to emerge. A touch of bread crust and dried grain rounds the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied on entry with a smooth, velvety mouthfeel that carries pronounced malty depth. The mid-palate develops gentle spiced and caramel notes with a slightly toasty character, while restrained bitterness from noble hops (22 IBU) provides balance without dominating. The finish remains dry and clean, with lingering malt-driven warmth.
