What Our Editors Thought
“Sweet bread-crust nose with light grape and a touch of honey. Floral hops in the sip with a bit of lime zest offer a nice bitter balance to the sweeter body. Finishes with a lingering hop zing.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Solid malt aroma—light toast, pie crust, biscuit. Hint of caramel, apricot, honey. Light floral hops. Dried apricot and caramel are followed by a rich toast and biscuit flavor. Apricot and golden-currant notes follow. Hop flavor is lightly floral and herbal. Medium and smooth bittering balances the malt nicely.”
What the Brewers Say
“Modeled after the classic märzenbier.”
