Ayinger Kirtabier
Ayinger Privatbrauerei

One of the most versatile and greatest beers. Too bad it's hard to find here in Norway. Ayinger rocks.

 

De OkassionalBeer. En copa Teku. Viendo Pubertat 1x05. Con Altramuces. Perfil maltoso muy corpulento, con ligera oxidacion de la que sienta bien y buen final amargo que equilibra el conjunto

On tap at the Brewery in Aying. We found out that this is not the same as the Fest_Märzen which is their Spring beer but is there local name as the Oktoberfest Märzen in the USA. Warm copper‑brown color, naturally cloudy / unfiltered (“premium cloudy”) appearance. Aroma is malty, hints of orange, apple, nuts. Some roast / bread / caramel notes.
Taste is full-bodied, malty, somewhat sweet but balanced with a perceptible bitterness. Very drinkable (“süffig”).

Ayinger Kirtabier is very well‑regarded among Märzen / festival / seasonal beers. If you like malt‑forward, unfiltered beers with a solid balance, this is one that gets strong praise. Based on the reviews, it’s definitely in the higher tier of its style.

 

 

 

Pours a cler copper with thick, fluffy tan head.

Smell is bready and a bit sweet with notes of brown bread, toast, nuts and caramel.

Taste is rich and bready with some sweet hints. Notes of caramel, brown bread, toast, citrus peel and nuts. Soft bitterness.

Mouthfeel is medium smooth and well carbonated.

Overall, a very nice darker lager, great for dark and wet evenings.

 

 

Had on tap. Clear amber orange body with a large khaki head, sporadic bands of lacing. Aromas of toasty amber malts with darker bready yeast, mild caramel, acorn and fall forest floor. Taste is much the same, more bready and less sweet, great depth for the style. Feel is full yet clean and moderately crisp with good bready and toasty tones lingering on the palate

Mostly opaque orange/brown appearance.

Big khaki head; decent lacing remained.

Autumn leaves, mild brown sugar & spring water notes in the nose.

Creamy medium mouthfeel.

Autumn leaves & mild brown sugar flavors up front; spring water & faint caramel notes on the finish.

Sweet but not cloying; damn tasty.

 

 

 

Pours a hazy amber color with a medium top of white head that dissolves slowly.
Aroma is caramel, grass, bread, grains, slight citrus and herbal hops.
The taste is sweet with malty and bready notes in the background. It then goes to more grassy notes allong with some herbal hoppy bitterness in the finish.
Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth.
A really delicious märzen. Enjoyable to the fullest.

Been on the hunt for this beer for a while now and happy to see it in the Ayinger Getrankemarkt inside their brewery. Bottled 25.09.23 with the back label stating "naturtrübes Märzenbier." Pours an absolutely gorgeous cloudy amber-brown. Has all the great qualities of their Festmarzen but kicked up a notch when they left the yeast in it. Fruitier, smoother, a bit sweeter, and even a bit funkier. I don't understand the relatively low score for this beer. I don't think it's exported so I doubt there is bad beer making it to the U.S. This wasn't just as good as I was hoping...it's better than that. Really wish I bought more than one 0,5l bottle (for only €0,98!) because I can't stop taking huge gulps of this luscious liquid. It's so unique...I don't know of many other unfiltered Marzens. It really is a joy to drink. Such rich, full flavors with a full yet refreshing body/feel. I can't get over how good this is. Bravo!
