Anno 1050 Marzen (ABV 5.5%) from Klosterbrauerei Weltenburg is a jewel of Bavarian brewing. Made with Hercules, Pearl, and Tradition hops and light and dark barley malts, it pours golden yellow with a compact head. Its bready and malty aroma is classic Marzen. The taste is a full-bodied balance of malt and invigorating herbal sweetness with notes of spice.
