Weyermann Märzen

Tap to rate

A Franconian Märzen in clear, glowing red gold under a creamy white head. The nose is a harmonious mix of malty grain notes and pleasant caramel, rounded off by hints of red berries, honey and hazelnut. On the palate the body is slim and covers a range from toffee to biscuit and caramel, with the aromas well balanced. Floral and herbal hop notes close the beer and invite the next sip. The brewery suggests beef with horseradish, roast beef and game, grilled food and fish and chips.
