COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Der Inbegriff für österreichisches Märzenbier macht etwa 70% des Ausstosses der Gösser Brauerei aus und ist Österreichs beliebstestes Märzenbier. Das untergärige, helle Vollbier ist in der Farbe strohgelb und im Duft hefig-malzig. Der Antrunk ist von deutlichen Malztönen geprägt. Eine leichte, angenehme Hopfennote rundet den harmonischen Geschmack von Gösser Märzen ab.

omhper (15964) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - DEC 27, 2011
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...

Rune (5000) - Tromsø, NORWAY - DEC 9, 2007
330ml bottle. Straw coloured body, clear as crystal. Low-level head. Lightly malts to the nose. Clean tasting with tangy pale malts, hints of sweet fruits and a discreet hoppy end. Watered palate and in fact rather anonymous (Wien, 30.11.2007).

Bottle, smallish head, clear light golden colour, light muted malty aroma, flavour of honey with a strong coarse bitterness, light bitter sweetish aftertase. Drinkable but quite dull.

Marsiblursi (2684) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - MAR 22, 2007
(Bottle, thanks Gnoff) Pours pale yellow. Hay-ish, malty and grainy aroma with some sweet rotten grass and vegetables. Rather sweet, malty nose with only hints of hops. Medium sweet flavour with a small bitterness and it is tiny dryish. Light body.

laiti (1689) - Tampere, FINLAND - SEP 14, 2011
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.

Tranquillity (1338) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - FEB 6, 2008
Bottled @ Bad Gastein, Austria. Very clea, thick small-bubbled white head. Not much of an aroma, but hops and yeast are eminent. Taste unbalanced, with a rather harsch finish.

MJROZ (3) - Villach, AUSTRIA - MAY 2, 2005 does not count
Terrible aftertaste. A bad choice for a "first beer" of the day. People have been known to change bars to avoid this beer altogether.
