Batch 208 Marzen tasting notes

Cold from tap

Pours clear orange with slight haze, even fine light tan head that stays, laces

Aroma fresh ripe fruit (pears)

Mouthfeel moderate body, some cling/coating

Flavor malty with fruit highlights, malt bitterness at the end

Finish distinct malt bitterness with some clinging/coating

Overall, clearly an ale, albeit a malt-dominant one, malt and ale yeast are vying for attention, hops and alcohol are buried deep.  Balanced fairly well, but not necessarily a standout.  Stick with lager yeast.
