Prost Brewing Company Marzen

What the brewers say

“German-style Oktoberfest lager.”

What our panel thought

“Toasty and bready, the aroma is elegant and clean. Pleasant, brightly sweet malt note sings out front, like an amped-up helles, sweet pastry, or the purest honey. Reddish-gold color—lovely—with ample foam. Each sip has the same disciplined simplicity of bruschetta, herbal hop flavor, and crisp clean finish.”

What our editors thought

“Light nutty, bready notes on the nose hit it right down the middle of the style. The sip keeps the conversation flowing, with punchy malt notes that waver between sweet and dry, threading a difficult needle. A burst of earthy hops in the finish.”
