Haller Löwenbräu Landbier

The Haller sits heavier on your palate in the best way. You get bready, almost honey-forward malt sweetness that doesn't cloy, with a soft breadcrust character on the mid-palate. The finish lingers just long enough to remind you this is a proper lager, not a session beer. It's the kind of Märzen that tastes like it was built for October.

Protokoll Märzenbier

Protokoll is more alert, more snap. The malt is there—toasted grain, some caramel notes—but it doesn't linger; instead, there's a subtle mineral dryness that pulls the beer forward. It drinks leaner, almost crisp for a Märzen, with a finish that doesn't overstay its welcome. This one works better if you're drinking multiple rounds.
