Gutmann Festbier

Gutmann hits you with warm, biscuity malt right away—think fresh bread crust and honey. There's a soft roundness to it, almost creamy on the mid-palate, that makes it feel bigger than 5.8%. The finish is clean but not sharp; it just fades into that gentle malt warmth. This is a beer that tastes like autumn in Bavaria should taste.

Rothaus Märzen

Rothaus is tighter, more focused. The grain comes through crisp and defined—subtle spice notes that might be noble hops or just how the malt plays. It's dry where Gutmann is soft, but not austere. There's an elegance to the restraint here; it drinks like a beer that knows exactly what it is and doesn't need to convince you.
