From the brewer

Bottom fermentation, medium full and medium bitter whole malt beer. Vienna lager and Bavarian Märzen were the inspiration for its composition. The color is closer to Märzen and the bitterness closer to Vienna lager. Märzen, Czech March beer, used to be cooked in March, which is still rather cold. Nowadays we have mechanical cooling and, therefore, we cook amber all year round.

Who's been drinking this

Somewhat bitter for your average Oktoberfest/Marzen, but otherwise has the standard slightly sweet taste.
Extremely bitter, like a Pilsner on steroids. Little else comes through, though I suppose it is clear and smooth if you can get past that.
