Founders Brewing Oktoberfest German-style Marzen
Founders Oktoberfest is a German-style Märzen lager that pays tribute to the traditional beers originally brewed for Munich's Oktoberfest. It showcases a rich blend of imported German malts, pouring a brilliant amber-copper color with a creamy white head. The aroma is filled with toasted bread, biscuit, light caramel, and subtle floral noble hops. On the palate, expect layers of bready malt, honey, and a touch of toffee, balanced by gentle earthy hop bitterness. The finish is clean, crisp, and dry, making it a flavorful yet highly drinkable fall seasonal.
