The palate is smoother than the classic Schlenkerla Märzen, but interestingly the smoky aroma is even more pronounced.

The brewery continues to smoke its own malt over an open fire, preserving a brewing tradition that largely disappeared elsewhere after smoke free malt drying became widespread.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Helles Märzen uses a lighter Rauchmalz than the classic Märzen, although it is still smoked over open beechwood. This gives the beer its brighter amber colour and smoother malt character while maintaining the unmistakable aroma that has made Schlenkerla famous around the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is a clever little twist on the house style. Slightly gentler in flavour, even smokier on the nose.
