Commercial Description:
Hansa Marzen Gold is the first locally developed but internationally based beer to be introduced to South Africa in many years. Heavily influenced by the German brewing tradition, Hansa Marzen Gold is neither a pilsner nor a regular lager, but a ‘marzen-style’ German beer, with a special recipe using slow roasted amber malt as a key ingredient. It is brewed for significantly longer than regular beer styles and together with its unique flavour, will set the product apart in the premium category. Its look and feel is distinctly premium in a green bottle with copper foiling. Amber malt prepared at high temperatures gives the brew a deep amber hue, a rich malty aroma and brewhouse flavour. It is brewed using four different malt types and uses the classic Hallertau Pearlē hop from Hallert in Germany. The product has an alcohol content of 5.2%.

33 cL can. Pours clear and golden yellow with a lacing white head. Mild spiced cornish aroma. Flavour is mild spiced and holds a mild bitterness. Ends medium dry.

courtesy of Per Forsgren - pours a clear bronze colour with a little head; correct lace; some aromatic hops with notes of peanuts; moderate and irregular malt body (faints on the end), fizzy with a decent bitterness, very dry but short corny finish - weird and unbalanced

(Bottle 34 cl) Clear, deep golden with a gigantic, frothy, off-white head that leaves quite some lacework. Aroma is of malt and brewing cereal. Medium body with a little malt and caramel and an edge of metal. Dry and fairly bitter finish. A level above the Hansa pilsener. 030508

Bottled
Pale amber color, small white head. Malty nose with papery notes. Reasonably clean, grassy-woody hoppy flavor, some hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Golden colour, small head. Aroma is grass, malts, hops and quite much hay. Flavour is hay, grass, some sweeter stuff. A rather basic beer.
