Kobushi Hana Maerzen Lager - by Hanyu

Hanyu Brewery - Maerzen Lager - Saitama Prefecture - 6% - 330 ml bottle:
Taste: Malty sweet, touch of honey, faint sour notes, smoothly fizzy.
Smell: Malts, whiffs of grape, other sweets, again with a slightly sour hint.
Look: Deep copper-red, poured without head, left no lace.
Verdict: Brewed in the classic German Maerzen style, this lager was pleasant and had a nice medium body. Malts play the big role here and they don't disappoint, this beer is brewed with care as is evident in the balancing of other tastes. For those looking for a darker lager, this beer is recommended.
