In celebration of the Oktoberfest season, we proudly present Fernprost. This Vienna Lager is built on a blend of Weyermann Vienna malt from Germany and Admiral Pilsner malt from California, and hopped with Saaz in the whirlpool. We utilized a traditional decoction method for the mash where we removed a portion, boiled it, then returned it back to the mash tun. This process allows the mash to hit two different temperatures, which develops malt character, depth, and superior foam. Fernprost was fermented cold with our house lager strain, and naturally carbonated through spunding. It pours a light copper color, and exudes aromas of freshly baked bread along with a floral, spicy hop character. Flavors reminiscent of toast, bread dough and orange zest frolic on the tongue amidst a creamy mouthfeel with subtle bitterness. Fernprost is named after an exclamation combining the German words "fern" (far) and "prost" (cheers); let's raise a glass of this one to those celebrating Oktoberfest both near and far.

Poured a deep amber-to-light copper clear color with three fingers of rocky-to-frothy off-white head. Could see a bunch of bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. Excellent spotty lacing. Outstanding retention. (Sight - 4.25)
Smelled hints of cinnamon, black pepper, Saaz, baked bread, Wheat Thins, wheat cracker, floral, graham cracker and orange zest. (Smell - 4.25)
Tasted just as good as the nose. In order got baked bread, biscuit, Wheat Thins, graham cracker, cinnamon, black pepper, Saaz, wood, wheat cracker, floral, orange zest and bitter, earthy pilsner malt. (Taste - 4.25)
Medium body. Oily texture. Average-to-lively carbonation. Long, bitter, spicy finish. (Feel - 4.50)
Wow. This was even better than I could hope for and I underrated a few categories slightly I think. Excellent. (Overall - 4.25)
