Prost means "cheers" in German- a gesture of friendship and an enjoyment of the moment. Our Maibock style lager is brewed just like the celebratory beer traditionally served at the May festivals: rich and malty, with slightly spicy notes from the Hallertau and Tettnang hops. ALC 7.3% BY VOL and 26 bitterness units.

Trader Joe’s, Union Square 12oz ($2): Pours orange/bronze color with a quickly dissipating head. Aroma is light toffee, bubblegum, and generic maltiness. Taste is slightly hoppy, moderately sweet, and lingering for a moment or two. Easy to drink, but easy to forget.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. White head with good retention recedes leaving no lacing. Sweet caramel and roasted nut aromas. Sweet toffee and caramel upfront turning dry in the lasting slightly hot doughy finish.

12 ounce bottle from Trader Joe’s Charlottesville. Pours a clear copper color with a medium sized white head that’s in a hurry to go somewhere. Aroma of toasted caramel malts, some nuttiness and faint floral hops. The taste is toasted malts, nuts, a vegetal note. Medium bodied. A little odd.

Gold color. Thin palate. Light malt sweetness and alcohol on the palate, but the flavor and palate and both too light.

Bottle from the Trader Joe’s in Davis, CA. Pours copper/amber with a slight beige head. Aroma is bready with notes of hallertau. Med + body. Flavor is bready, very lightly spicy. Actually a pretty good bock. Finishes somewhat darkly malty, but there’s enough hop to argue it’s balanced. High ABV is probably a contributor to my positive tack here!

12oz bottle from TJs of course. BB 8/14/13, so I am guessing its about a month old. Pours a dark orange golden color into an 8oz mini nonic , small head. Clear beer with filter clear beer at the bottom of the bottle. Aroma is lagered earthiness with a bit of a floral bouquet. The flavor is better, a cleanier lager with a hint of sweetness at the end of the flavor. Just a very nice clean flavor with a nice juicy malt kick at the end. Great price for a sixer as well.
