look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Look: Dark oaky brown with a just barely off white head that lingers. Appealing.
Smell: Malty, bready, not very hoppy and not very strong
Taste: stronger than the smell but largely the same. Toasted nut or dark bread, bitter, maybe a bit of caramel, but it's definitely malt driven.
Feel: Intermediate body that foams up nicely on the tongue. Mild carbonation.
Overall: Very good and refreshing. A good fallback beer that I wouldn't necessarily seek out, but if I saw it, I wouldn't hesitate to get it!

You can't get much closer to the original märzen style then by going directly to the source. Dark, malty, with a slightly toasted flavor, this bready beer is crispy with a toffee finish. The light caramel is pleasing and slightly sweet.

This beer pours a rich golden color, with little head, depends on glass. There was not much in the way of lacing. For a green bottled beer this is slightly above average.
