In the Spring spirit, I wanted to make a Marzen during a typically illegal time to brew them in Germany. Typically brewed in March, this lager is characterized by the full body malty taste and amber to dark brown color. I got this recipe from the award winning Munich Madness listing in Jamil Zainasheff and John J. Palmer’s book Brewing Classic Styles. Named for the German word for Mischief, I made a lot of it while drinking this beer.
