Wünderfest Märzen
Compass Rose Brewery

A: Pours a very lightly hazy medium golden burnt orange in color with slightly heavier than moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate medium golden yellow + honey + copper colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy light beige head that slowly reduces to a large patch of slightly mottled thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of bready + toasted + caramel malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness. Slightly lighter than moderate aromas of earthy + herbal hops.

T: Upfront there are slightly stronger than moderate flavors of bready + toasted + caramel malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness. That is followed by light flavors of earthy + herbal hops which contribute a light amount of lingering bitterness.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly crisp initially with a relatively clean finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol. Pretty good combonation of Vienna and Munich malts which provide a really nice backbone which is balanced by the hops. Enjoyable and a pretty decent example of the style.
