Josef Langwieser's noble beersmith Golden Sud - Märzen

The technique of cold hopping is nothing new in the context of craft beer Years ago, brewers used to spice up their beers by stuffing them with the green gold In fact, the procedure was already used centuries ago in order not to lose the valuable hop flavor during boiling The craft beer movement has taken up the trick and given it a renaissance: Many India Pale Ales and their ilk are cold hopped today and thus gain a maximum of fine hop aroma

However, it is no longer just craft breweries that are using the technique; long-established institutions have also acquired a taste for it and are using it to refine their beers

Josef Langwieser's Edelbierschmiede combines traditional brewing skills and classic recipes with modern ideas and innovative tricks To take his Märzen to the next level, he has cold-hopped the down-to-earth beer, giving the classic beer, which is actually quite malty, a skillful hop kick,5% Märzen entices with an exotic potpourri of citrus and tropical fruits at the first sip and convinces in the taste test with soft malt and loud hops Juicy notes of freshly mown grass, grapefruit, passion fruit and lemon blossom on a rich, pithy malt base Golden Sud is an unconventional Märzen that should appeal to traditionalists and avant-gardists alike
