Notes

6A: Marzen: Bob and Troy

Style Guide/Justification of ingredients: This recipe meets the style guidelines. Its’ Vital Stats are all within the BJCP range for the style (table below). The hops flavor should reflect low spicy, floral, and herbal notes associated with the style. The malts should all contribute to the overall amber-orange color of the style. The malts should produce moderate intensity aroma, as well as the distinctive, clean, and complex malt flavor associated with the style. German Pilsner should contribute well to body and mouthfeel as well as malty, sweet, and bread notes. Munich should add rich bready, and malty sweet melanoidin flavors. Caramunich will contribute toffee, and malty sweet notes. The yeast is ideal for malty lagers and should promote sweetness to further malt nuances while contributing to a balanced finished. The selected hops should produce no to little hop aroma. Hop flavor should be low and bitterness moderate. The body should be medium with an overall impression as elegant, clean, crisp, and flavorful. It should finish dry with restrained hop bitterness balanced by a sturdy, crisp and clean malt character. Additionally, calcium chloride was added to raise the chloride levels and gypsum was add to raise the sulfate levels for a light, malty water profile.
