Oktoberfest-Marzen 6.1 º

Nepenthe Brewing Co.

Geistbär is a robust Märzen that celebrates the arrival of autumn with a deeply layered malt profile. A backbone of Vienna and Munich malts provides a foundation of rich dark bread and toasted crust, accented by delicate notes of caramel and toffee. This amber lager presents an elegant balance between complex malt sweetness and a clean, quenching finish. The aroma is dominated by toasty, bready richness, while the palate delivers a smooth, creamy texture typical of the style. Purposefully crafted for cooler weather, it offers a sophisticated, full-bodied experience that remains remarkably refreshing, embodying the heart of a traditional German festival lager.

Appearance. Deep amber-orange to reddish-copper (12-15 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a persistent, creamy off-white foam stand and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high malt intensity; rich, bready, and distinctly toasty with notes of bread crust. Clean lager fermentation with no esters. Very low spicy hop aroma is optional but may be present.

Taste. Rich, bready malt flavors with a toasty edge and subtle hints of caramel. Initial perceived sweetness yields to a moderately dry finish. Low herbal hop flavor with moderate bitterness providing balance against the malt. Clean aftertaste with lingering toasted grain notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth that remains relatively hidden despite the strength.
