Lets move on to the Victory Fest Bier Märzen lager. Anyone who knows this site will know we enjoy Victory brews and this one is no different. I have had the Festbier every year going on 3 years now but I will remain focused on bringing you an unbiased review. Directly from their site,
“Friendship and camaraderie: the two keys to any festive event. And then there’s the beer. It should be full-bodied, yet infinitely smooth. Seductively malty, with a kiss of the hops for balance. This is our Festbier. Painstakingly crafted from German malts, decoction brewed for full flavor and carefully aged for depth of character. Subtly sweet with a delicate malt nose, our Festbier gains its impressive body from our use of all imported German malts and decoction brewing process. Gather with your friends for a festive moment of Victory!”.
Appearance: I love the addition of the boot, a staple in German beer drinking. Typical color scheme of blue and orange, but there is alot going on. This label makes me want to cheers in a beer hall with a huge pretzel in my hand.
Aroma: Strong aroma here with plenty of bready notes and thick malts. I love how heavy the aroma comes on, from both the pour and the bottle.
Taste: The taste is interesting because I get the caramel/malts but I also detect corn. Its tough to describe but its like a buttered roasted corn flavor backed by the breadiness you would expect. Very unquie, but not overpowering.
Experience: This Märzen has a little bit of a bite. While the initial mouthfeel is creamy and smooth there is a bit of a biting dryness when it is finished.
Game Pairing: When it comes to game pairing I chose Final Fight 3 for the SNES. This is my favorite Final Fight game and it is underrated. Fun, not super long and alot of replayability with some buddies. So grab a case and make a night of it.
