Bottled. Yellowish golden colour with mediumsized fluffy white head. Leaves some lace. Aroma is sweet malts along with some grassy hops, also mild notes of some breadyness. Flavour is quite much the same along with some a-bit-sappy-sweet-notes.

Golden body, lightly hazed with tiny pulpy bits, under a fast, white head of dishwater soap suds. Grassy aroma with lemon, berries, taffy. Flavor is rather balanced, with a lightly sweetened malty start moving to middle tart fruitiness and finishing with a mild yet crisp hop bite. Almost mid-bodied, somewhat dry. Not bad, but below average for a Märzen. ~~~~~~~~ Bottle of unknown origin.

Bottle Pours a clear yellow with a good sized white head. The lacingis okay. The head lasts well . Has an aroma of grass, and floral. Has a good carbonation. The mouthfeel is okay. Flavor is decent. Has a good sweetness and is crisp and refreshing. Has a lighter body. A watery texture. A pretty good finish with not much aftertaste. An easy drinking beer that is pretty good.

Yellow pour with thin white head. Malty, grassy, honeyed aroma. More honeyed malt on the taste with a a little bit of grass and hops on the finish. Very nice mouthfeel.
