Gösser Märzen

Brewed by Gösser (Brau Union)
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Leoben, Austria

(Bottle, thanks Gnoff) Pours pale yellow. Hay-ish, malty and grainy aroma with some sweet rotten grass and vegetables. Rather sweet, malty nose with only hints of hops. Medium sweet flavour with a small bitterness and it is tiny dryish. Light body.

Okay it is beer but is far too sweet. If this is a "fest"-beer I cannot drink it a whole night. But perhaps I have to learn to drink it.

50 cl can. Fresh and fruity. Pineapple and peaches, then the grapefruit from the hops take over. One of the best canned beers from Austria.

50cl bottle, Vienna. Fairly standard for styles tried in Austria. Crisp, golden, drinkable.

Finding this one was a bit of a surprise. I spotted a couple of open 24packs of 0.33l cans of Gösser, and thought nothing of it, and then it suddenly came to me. I’ve never seen Gösser here in 0.33l cans. I picked up the can, and to my surprise it said "Märzen" on it. The importer info was nowhere to be seen, too...odd.
This poured a small fluffy white head that went away fast, and a pale golden colour. Looks nothing like märzen I’ve seen. Faint smell of cabbage and maybe malt... Relatively full taste with sweet malt, some sour lemon, and some faint alcohol. Faint hoppy aftertaste. Not impressive, but a solid Pils/Märzen/whatever.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pilsener golden with a small, creamy head. Light malty nose. Soft malty sweetness and some discreet hops in the finish. Slight tang of cardboard. 170905

Bottle. Golden with nice head. Grass, hops, crisp, light bodied, little disaapointed. Thanks Papsoe

Randomly served at Salzberg hostel. Delicious... seed taste of some kind in there, hard to figure out what. Also during sound of music. No, not edelweiss seeds.
