Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Wagner Märzen
◎ Appearance
A bright amber hue with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head that leaves distinct lacing on the glass. The carbonation is moderate and even, creating a refined visual presentation typical of the Märzen style.
◌ Aroma
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.
◑ Finish
A crisp, moderately dry finish with lingering spicy hop bitterness and subtle citrus persistence. The aftertaste remains clean and malty without cloying sweetness.
