Gösser Brauerei Gösser Märzen Märzen at 5.2% ABV (Austrian Airlines Flight OS501, 330 ml, best before 01/16)
Pours clear pale straw with one finger of fluffy white head, good retention and moderate patchy lacing. (3/5) Nose is grainy pale malt, faint weedy hops. (4/10) Taste is moderate sweet, mild bitter. (4/10) Light bodied, moderate carbonation, crisp off dry finish. (3/5)
Well, it’s better than a North American mass market beer – if only barely. “Österreichs bestes bier”? I sincerely hope not. (9/20)
