Oud bruins are often referred to as the slightly maltier cousin of the Flanders red.[…]Unlike its red cousin, oud bruins typically don’t spend much time in oak or take on as much oak character, although they are aged for several months, if not a full year.

kellerbier

kellerbier (countable and uncountable, plural kellerbiers)

From German Kellerbier (literally “cellar beer”), referring to its cool lagering temperatures.

bor

In addition to helles, Bavarian brewers offer dark and earthy dunkels, yeasty kellerbiers and strong and malty bocks and doppelbocks,[…].

Amber and cloudy, like all kellerbiers, the Flensburger version is full-bodied and tastes naturally fresh, slightly sweet, and has a dry finish.

Hazy on the eye and full of fruity esters, much of kellerbier’s colour (similar to a märzen) and body comes from caramelised malt, while a healthy hopping gives the beer its quenching crisp dryness and sprightly aromatics.

2009, World’s Best Beers: 1000 Unmissable Brews from Portland to Prague, Jacqui Small:

Nowadays, kellerbiers are invariably fermented and conditioned in closed stainless steel fermenters, especially when they are bottled or kegged for shipment to distant markets.[…]Enthusiasts, especially in Franconia, feel that kellerbiers make great aperitifs when served to stimulate the appetite before dinner.

Technically as well as historically, there is a great deal of overlap in the specifications of märzenbier, Vienna lager, and oktoberfestbier; and brewers around the world do not apply these designations consistently on their labels.

These yeasts are used in the crisp, easy-drinking lagers that would become very popular in the United States as cold brewing and cold storage options improved in the 1870s, as well as straw-colored, Bohemian pilsners and the pale lagers and medium-bodied, amber-hued märzenbiers from Germany.

märzen

en-noun

märzen (countable and uncountable, plural märzens)

From German Märzen(bier) (literally “March beer”). A decree issued in 1553 by Albert V, Duke of Bavaria, forbid all brewing between 23 April and 29 September, preventing brewing during the warm season, when, unbeknown to medievals, ambient bacteria would often infect the Bavarians’ beers and quickly spoil them. Brewers, therefore, worked overtime in March to make enough beer, which was usually brewed slightly stronger than regular beer and stored cool, i.e., lagered, so it would keep better, to last until fall.

bor

For all of the Oktoberfests to be found around the land, there is still precious little märzen being brewed in North America’s microbreweries. This paucity of märzen is a shame, too, because it is the ideal beer style for the season and is especially appropriate for Oktoberfest celebrations.

1995, Stephen Beaumont, A Taste for Beer, page 76:

Märzens have become lighter in recent years, looking more like pilsners than the autumnal-hued beauties they once were. For a rich, traditional märzen, consider a base of pilsner malt with up to 50 percent Munich or a blend of Munich, Vienna, and pilsner.

2017, Jeff Alworth, The Secrets of Master Brewers: Techniques, Traditions, and Homebrew Recipes for 26 of the World’s Classic Beer Styles, Storey Publishing, page 79:
