Great Notion Brewing – Oktoberfest Märzen Lager
Overview & Visuals
Pouring into a classic stein, this traditional autumnal celebration lager presents a brilliant, deep copper hue with a thick, creamy off-white head that slowly settles, leaving delicate lace down the sides of the glass.
Aromas
The nose is rich and inviting, driven by a complex malt profile. Prominent notes of toasted biscuit, freshly baked crusty bread, and a subtle touch of caramelized brown sugar lead the way, complemented by a clean, earthy herbal undertone from traditional noble hop additions.
Palate & Mouthfeel
On the palate, it delivers a masterclass in malt harmony. Rich, biscuity, and slightly nutty malt flavors take center stage, supported by a restrained, clean bitterness that keeps the sweetness entirely in check. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, with a smooth, pleasantly rounded carbonation that finishes clean and crisp, begging for another sip.
The Verdict
Great Notion has crafted a stellar interpretation of the classic Märzen style. It balances hearty, traditional malt depth with modern brewing precision, making it an absolute staple for the autumn season.
