Oktoberfest Bier Kit, all grain, 5.5 Gallon
Also known as Märzen, Märzenbier, Wiener Märzen, or Festbier, this beer pours a medium amber with a light frothy head. Bready, toasty, malt character with hints of caramel, but not too sweet. Just a slight earthy, sweetness from the Hallertau hops. Balance is towards the malt but with a firm bitterness. Finishes clean and dry leaving plenty of room for more!
