Beer Pick of the Week - Paulaner Oktoberfest Märzen

Paulaner Märzen pours clear and copper colored, with a wonderful aroma of toasted grains and caramel. The taste is earthy and slightly sweet, with a hint of nuttiness, and a lingering, spicy-hop bitterness. The round, grainy finish is rich without leaving a heavy malt aftertaste. Distinctively easy drinking and best consumed by the liter, this is the quintessential festbier.

Paulaner Salvator Thomasbraeu AG, Munich, Germany. 5.8 percent ABV.
