A Miyagi Märzen arrives on tap
Beer pub taki in Sakuragaoka, Shibuya, has announced the tapping of Fest Lager (Märzen) from Ishinomaki Hop Works.
Fest Lager is a lager style traditionally associated with Germany’s Oktoberfest. This version uses hops grown in the Tohoku region, bringing a refreshing aroma reminiscent of open grassland. Its malt profile adds gentle sweetness and a toasted, bread-like character, while the beer’s appearance is described as a deep reddish brown.
The combination of crisp hop lift and rounded malt flavor makes this an approachable lager for drinking with food or enjoying at a relaxed pace. Its clean lager character should appeal to drinkers looking for refreshment, while the darker color and toasty malt notes offer a little more depth than a typical pale lager.
