Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear golden with a white head. Clean malty nose. Medium body, clear malts and a little sulphur. Ends dry and hoppy. Solid craftmanship. 180201

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is sweet malts, some slight grassyness, mild herbal and wooden notes as well. Flavour is sweet malts, some herbs, mild grassy notes as well as some balancing non-sweet malts as well. Actually big on the malts, with some mild bittery hops kicking in. Quite pleasant strongly malted brew.

(bottle) Clear, deep golden colour with a short and slightly off-white foamy head. Caramel-malty and bready aroma with herbal hops shining through. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a present carbonation. Cara-malty and bready taste with a chalky touch and shy herbal notes; sweet-bitter malt-accented finish with herbal hops. Not a great but likeable Festbier. 27.XII.10

Bottle: Golden to deep golden, small to medium-sized fluffy white head with a little lace; light to moderate sweetish-grainy nose, molecular traces of toasted malt underneath; light to moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied, soft; slightly lingering sweet malty and bitter finish. Quite robust, tasty Märzen......
