During my last ski holiday on the Austrian side of the ‘Zugspitze’ (the highest mountain in Germany) I found a nice Austrian beer which I liked very much. It is not really local from that place but it is also not so much a mainstream beer like Gösser.

I decided for the Zillertal Märzen rather than the Zillertal Pils as the Austrian Märzen is close to Lager. The definition of Märzen in Germany is very different to the Austrian as the German Märzen is stronger in alcohol and more hoppy. Anyway, here is the gluten test result of Zillertal Märzen:

Beer: Zillertaler Marzen
Producer: Zillertal Bier GmbH
Originating country: Austria
Brewing location: Austria
Bottle size: 500 ml
Alcohol by volume: 5.1%

Zillertal Marzen Gluten Test Zillertal Marzen Gluten Test

Test Kit: Imutest Gluten-in-Food Kit

Test result: The test result is negative. According to the instructions there should appear a clearly visible pink test spot on the left of the test area ( T ) to indicate the presence of gluten. The pink spot on the right test area ( C ) is a control spot and indicates that the extract/sample is suitable, the test has been performed correctly and all reagents are active. Even though the detection limit in this kit is very low (1-2 ppm) and the test is negative please note this is not a medical advice – please see also my facts page.
