Name – Hoss
Country – United States
Type – Marzen

Appearance – Pours a clear copper color with a big white head that disappears quickly.

Smell – Malts and a very bready like smell but not quite rye.  Other grains can be picked up as well.

Taste – Slightly roasted malts with a bread like taste, very minimal rye.  Some sweet caramel like notes.

Hoss is suppose to be a slightly different take on a traditional marzen lager.  There is a hint of rye in the taste but not enough for me to really think of it any differently than any other marzen.  It is a better than average one but I guess once again I was expecting more of a rye taste in it.

Overall Grade – C+
