Life on März is, of course, a Märzen. This one comes from Kingston and its Stone City Ales. It is a 5.3% amber lager that comes in 500mL bottles. The beer is beautifully clear and it pours with a short-lived layer of creamy foam.
LoM has a malty, slightly toasty aroma accented with a nod to sweetness. The beer has a sweet to bitter, malty to bitter progression. It’s flavour touches on roasted malt, grainy, floral hops, and some metallic elements.
I don’t see a lot of märzens (märzi?) in my perusal of Ontario’s brewery offerings, but I pretty much always buy some of this fall seasonal treat when I do. And I’m definitely glad to have picked up a couple of bottles of LoM—it’s a tasty take on the classic harvest lager. It’s tall on crisp, floral bitterness and relatively short on sweetness, which works for me.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
