From the brewer

A proper German Märzen bier. Traditional imported malts offer subtle honey-like aromas with hints of Noble hop spice. The stars of this brew are the imported Pilsner and Vienna malts that offer malty sweetness that carry through to the end. German Hallertau hops add rich Noble hop character to balance this exceptional Marzen. True to Oktoberfest custom, this beer only makes its debut in September and October to celebrate the age-old German tradition.

Who's been drinking this

Light clean wheaty citrusy smell. Moderately body with wheat banana cereal taste and lightly hopped finish.
Draft
Bottle at A Friend's
Rich malt flavors on mid palate, almost honey-like. Couldn't place that before but it holds across all the good marzens. Nice bitterness on the finish to balance.
