Bottle at our hotel in Bratislava. Ah, morning beer! Pours clear, bright gold with a weak, white head. Light cereal and other dusty malts in the aroma, some faint citrus zest. Light sweet flavor, light bread, some kind of odd plastic or flowers or something, light straw bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Pretty crisp to finish, plastic-like lemon, light cereal, dusty hay. Nothing special here.

Can. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty grainy aroma. sweetish malty weak bready flavor. Has a sweetish malty grainy finish.

Canned, thanks oh6gdx! Clear pale golden, brief head. Dusty fruity nose. Sweet with light-medium body and clean, roudned mouthfeel. Some raisiny malt before a dusty finish. Better than average for a Brau Union beer...

33cl can at Vienna grocery store. Clear gold color with no head, continuous fine bubbles. Surprising slight hop aroma and bitterness for a Märzen. Light-to-medium body. Moderately carbonated mouthfeel. Lacking main taste and finish.

vom Faß at Gosser Bierklinik in Vienna - golden body with a white head - light grain with a nice hop aroma - medium sweetness with a pleasant bitterness - a fresh and nice Märzen

Can. Clear yellow colour with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, hops and grain.

33 cl can @ 30000 feet over Twer, I guess. BBE 04/2012, rated on 4.9.2011
Aroma is sweet with corn-like malt. Also some grain and hints of cardboard. Flavour is also sweet with corn-like malt. Palate is sticky-ish and watery. Too sweet, too much corn, too low on hops, feels like starch bulk lager and not märzen at all.

5L keg. Found this for 11€, expiry date dec. 2011. Well, was expetng more from a Marzen, and i was disappointed. In fact there’s no difference from a classic lager. Clear yellow body with creamy white head. Bland aroma of weak malts and some vegetables. Light hoppiness, thin body, a bit watery, low carbonation, easy to drink, average.
