Squatters Vienna Style Marzen Lager

This 4.0% ABV Vienna-style Marzen lager is from Squatters Beers. They are part of the Utah Brewers Cooperative out of Salt Lake City, Utah. The Marzen style is the traditional Oktoberfest beer. The bottle suggests pairing this beer with lederhosen!

The beer pours a gem-like orange amber in color. There is a relatively short head of off-white foam. The aroma is malty, well toasted, roasted, nutty, and caramel. The taste follows the aromas, quite roasted, the caramel and nut starting to curve towards fruitiness, like a raspberry caramel with nuts. The beer drinks smooth and softly carbonated.
