| Likeness | It drinks as a Märzen: toasted malt, bread crust, and a bitterness gentle enough to leave the malt in front. The likeness is convincing. The flavor is quieter than the style usually is. | Recognizable as a mild German lager — malt and cereal before hops — with the bitter snap of a drier lager left out. |
