16.9 oz can into a Becher glass.
L: Pours slightly cloudy light amber with a thin frothy off white head that has low retention, lots of fine carbo bubbles, minimal lacing.
S: Caramelized malts, toasted grains, lightly floral, bread dough, restrained aroma overall.
T: Lightly sweet pale malts, a hint of toasted grains, extra clean tasting, a touch of honey in the finish, light background bread notes, distant apple, light citrus fruits in the middle.
F: Gently brisk, medium-bodied feel with a medium-long finish that is lightly dry.
O: A German-made Marzen that's on the lighter side. Lovely finishing notes of honey and has a fairly vacant after taste. Extremely crushable for a 5.5% ABV. Delightful overall. It is very good in its style.

Overall, I found this beer a bit disappointing. It's a bit thin and watery, very mild bitterness combined with malty sweetness. Somewhat underwhelming. Not terrible, but I wish I hadn't bought that relatively cheap 4-pack. Luckily, it's all gone now.

Date of bottle of 07.06.2023 so still plenty of life in it. Randomly picked up at a Kaufland. Pours a nice amber color, sweet malty aroma and flavor, very easy drinking. A pleasant surprise for a Marzen in the winter.

0 ml Bottles
Consumed: 24 july, 2022
Glass: 0.5L Fest Mug
Temp at Pour: 51.6 F
Look:
Clear golden amber that is somewhat more gold than amber. Initial head is 1.5-fingers of off-white foam. The head dissipates quickly to a ring-and-cover. No lacing.
Smell:
A very restrained nose. Some sweet caramelly malts with an unexpected fruity note. No detectable hops.
Taste:
Again, somewhat restrained. Bread dough. Some caramel and even sweet fruits. Enough hops to balance. The taste is a bit off for a Märzen. Maybe not for a Festbier.
Feel:
Smooth but somewhat watery. Body is light-medium.
Overall:
Not what I was expecting. This beer is more an amber-colored Festbier than a true Märzen. It is definitely drinkable and it is not bad. It's just not really what I expect in a Märzen. I wonder if I got an old sample? I will have to re-review at some point.
My ratings are for this sample as a Märzen. I would rate it higher as a Festbier.
