Wagner Märzen

Tap to rate

An amber Märzen brewed at 13.2 °P, which the brewery describes as robust and full-bodied. Malt carries the beer from start to finish: grain and a moderate caramel note, a light sweetness and a hint of apple in the nose. The body is rounder than the house pilsner but stays clean, and the finish brings a spicy hop bitterness with a touch of citrus fruit that keeps the malt from turning heavy.

The nose leads with pronounced grain and malt character, supported by a moderate caramel sweetness. A light fruity note—reminiscent of apple—emerges beneath, while noble hop aromatics contribute subtle spice without dominating the malt-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with robust malt presence and a rounded, full body that speaks to the beer's substantial 13.2 °P gravity. Mid-palate sweetness is kept in check by clean fermentation and a restrained noble hop bitterness. The finish dries with spicy hop character and a whisper of citrus, preventing any heavy aftertaste.
