491. Falls City Beer (Louisville, KY) - Ottofest

No description apart from the designation of being named after their original brewer, so we shall proceed with what I know about the Märzen style—which ain’t much; usually the words “malty” and “bready” come to mind, though there is not a whole lot going on up front here. There is a little bit of a yeasty aroma, and…okay, something of a bready taste. What’s more interesting to me is the very light hint of brown sugar on the back end. The scent and flavor of yeast take over by the end, though—to the point that it almost tastes like I’m drinking a ball of raw pizza dough. It doesn’t do anything to convert me to Märzen-ism (I seem to be on a pumpkin ale kick this fall), but it’s interesting enough to make me want to try another of its ilk—and that will happen tomorrow during my writing hour at Black Acre on my way home from work.
