What Our Editors Thought
“Peach, peach pit, a touch of almond, and light honey on baguette in the aroma. Spicier hop bitterness organizes the flavor with sharper pepper notes. Nice push-pull of sweet and bitter, even if the intensity affects drinkability.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Light toast and biscuit aroma. Hint of caramel. Light grain husk. Low herbal and floral hops. Malt-forward pie crust, toast, and biscuit. Low caramel, brown sugar. Low herbal, floral, and spicy black-pepper notes. Firm but smooth bittering balances the hefty malt bill.”
What the Brewers Say
“Our Oktoberfest märzen lagerbier.”
