Oktoberfest Märzen
Ladd & Lass Brewing

Poured from 16oz can into my Natural 20 tulip. Canned 9/18/24.

Appearance: rich orange-amber hue with a clear body and a finger of frothy light-tan foam atop. Looks good!

Smell: malt is a bit toasty with a hint of caramel and a somewhat biscuity character. There’s also a soft yeastiness present. Generally I don’t care for biscuity flavors/aromas, but in this beer it works. I like it.

Taste: a bit sweet with more of that biscuity/toasty/caramelly malt. Like I said, I’m not normally a huge fan of biscuity malt in beers like this, but the level of sweetness balances it out well, and it’s stylistically appropriate.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a big carbonation and a good creaminess.

Overall: a solid version of the style. I like that fact that there’s an element here that’s not normally to my taste, but is made to work in such a way as I like the overall beer. Nice!
