Really hits the spot as spring today has pushed winter into a retreat from which it will not recover... until next year. Even thought marzen is a celebration of the Fall harvest, it is brewed now and, more importantly, signals seasonal change.
I found this marzen at Drinks Of The World's store in the Geneva train station. I like the traditional pop-top (a good Look) altho the foam could have stuck around. Smells are mostly malt; ok, but let's try to make sweet malt more interesting. Tastes were balanced, just enough hops in the finish. Not quite medium-mouthed.
I gave the Dinkelacker merger its micro-review a while back; but I like how they have tried to swoop up the regional brewers around Stuttgart and get them wider distribution... before, say, the likes of Heineken does. Prost !

Would never buy this based on past experiences with mediocre beers from this brand but it was free so why not. Swing-top 0,33l bottle dated best by 29.12.24. Another watered down version vaguely resembling the style. So sad that a brewery like this not only exists, but doesn’t have the self awareness to notice how plain their offerings are. And they’re a heavy presence around Stuttgart! What a lame brand to represent the beer culture in the city. This is a weak amber, not a Märzen.

Pours a couple fingers of head on a clear gold body.
The aroma is dry grains and mild.
The taste has a little lemon bitterness and a touch of the malt sweet. Fairly plain.
The texture is lighter and fizzy.
Fine enough.

Very bitter aftertaste. Is this seriously from Germany?
