Oktoberfest Lager

This highly drinkable golden lager is our take on the modern day festbier, designed for enjoying outside in mugs topped with foam while celebrating Oktoberfest.

“Ein Prosit” translates to “A toast,” and is the name of the traditional German song played every 10-15 minutes in the bier halls to encourage a good time, a steady drinking pace, and overall sense of camaraderie and cheers, or as the Germans call it, “Gemütlichkeit.”

This crushable brew is light and refreshing with delicate malt sweetness perfectly balanced by gentle noble hop bitterness.

Expect slightly less color, malt character, and strength than our Farm Fest Märzen with all of the character and nuance you would expect in a traditionally lagered German festbier.

Pours a crystal-clear, honey-gold body, sporting a steady effervescence and two fingers of fluffy, eggshell-white foam; good head retention leaves a slight layer of fuzzy cap, large collar, and heavy spatter of lacing draping down the walls of the glass.

Aromas of wildflower honey meet a spritzy minerality, a clean balance followed up with nutty malts into baked honeycomb and a white toast nuance developing over time.

Taste offers the slightest accent of grapefruit against a burgeoning florality and toasted honeycomb peak, with further mineralic tinges easing over the mid-palate into notes of brown bread crusts, grassy underpinnings, and nutty malt into the finish.

Mouthfeel shows a light body and a moderate-full fluff of carbonation, dispersing an airy prickle underscoring an otherwise clean mid-palate through a wispy, drying snap past the swallow.

Baked honey threads resound through a soft, toasty malt profile, bringing touches of added nuance to a simple yet polished festbier presentation.
