Hansa Marzen Gold is the first locally developed but internationally based beer to be introduced to South Africa in many years. Heavily influenced by the German brewing tradition, Hansa Marzen Gold is neither a pilsner nor a regular lager, but a ‘marzen-style’ German beer, with a special recipe using slow roasted amber malt as a key ingredient. It is brewed for significantly longer than regular beer styles and together with its unique flavour, will set the product apart in the premium category. Its look and feel is distinctly premium in a green bottle with copper foiling. Amber malt prepared at high temperatures gives the brew a deep amber hue, a rich malty aroma and brewhouse flavour. It is brewed using four different malt types and uses the classic Hallertau Pearlç hop from Hallert in Germany. The product has an alcohol content of 5.2%

    No, not your traditional marzen, but quite a good tasting beer nevertheless. Pours a deep golden yellow, lightly carbonated, with a billowy soft white head. Light toffee malt aroma and a crisp full mouthfeel. Good flavor balance of honey-caramel malt and light hop bitterness. If I could find this easier here in southern Africa I’d much prefer to drink this than the ubiquitous Castle Lager.

    Bottled. Golden colour, small head. Aroma is grass, malts, hops and quite much hay. Flavour is hay, grass, some sweeter stuff. A rather basic beer. Refreshing, but not very exciting.
