aloisius märzen

Aloisius, sometimes also written Aloysius, is a name that can be found in German-speaking countries. It is a variation of the name Louis and is derived from Ludwig. If you translate the original Germanic parts of the word, it means something like glorious fighter. Despite this glorious meaning, the name is no longer as popular today as it once was. In Bavaria and Franconia, however, there are still some people called Aloisius. The Märzen from the Engel brewery, for example.

The classic from Crailsheim has already won numerous awards and impresses with its malty fullness, gentle fruit notes and hints of creamy caramel. In the glass, the classic brew presents itself in a light roe-brown colour with a foamy head. The selection of Hohenlohe special malts is already noticeable in the aroma: a symphony of toffee, roasted grain and ripe stone fruit wafts around the tip of the nose and makes you want to take the first sip. The first sip reveals a full-bodied body with soft malt sweetness and a potpourri of malty flavour components. Delicately melting caramel meets robust spiciness, light fruit notes and a subtle bitterness. The brew has a subtle 5.9% alcohol content.

The Aloisius Märzen from the Engel beer manufacturer is a down-to-earth representative of its style and tastes wonderful on its own or with dishes with a hearty, spicy character.
