This is one of the best Marzens made in Minnesota this year. Right up there with Birch's.
Pours a deep, regal Mahoganey color..nice clarity....rich bready aroma...the taste follows the same with fresh breads, and a touch of toasted malts...love the taste of this..loaded with malt flavors....wonder what a bit more of a spicy hop accent would add?
Body is medium, drinks a little sweet..I'm all in on this though....very impressive version this year ('23)

Can. Off white head with lace. Clear autumn burnt golden color.
Caramel and honey. Toasted crackers, bread, and biscuit. Grassy hops. Very malty with a light earthy hop profile. Smooth, enjoyable.
