Fest Beer
A Märzen in the Bavarian style, brewed bottom-fermented: crisp malt, apple and a hint of hops in the aroma, then spicy malt, resinous hops and apple in the taste, with caramel running through. The hop bitterness stays in balance, the body is good and the carbonation lively. 5.5 % ABV from Wild Heaven in Avondale Estates.

What is a Märzen?
Märzens are Bavarian lagers with 5.8–6.3% ABV. Rich toasty malt — bread, caramel, biscuit — with clean lager fermentation and low bitterness.
