Well, it’s a day that many look forward to, a historic and tradition honoring day – opening day of Oktoberfest! Yes, in September. They aren’t the seventh and eighth months of the year either, so what’s in a name? It just so happens that La Mundial had a märzen sitting proudly on the shelf, and that just seems like a sign. It’s also an Oso beer, trustworthy local that certainly won’t be overaged or overjostled. The can indicates that it’s a beer to sip languidly and enjoy deeply, no need to hurry and empty your glass for the next one. So, raise your glass and Prost!
It a glowier gold than what I expect from Märzens, but there’s a stab of aged grain scent that is expected. It has a pretty, fluffy head, but it descends quickly. The flavor is also brighter than others, with a touch of honey and a soothing texture. There’s also a zing of toasted herbs, giving a depth that sets Prost at a higher level than some other specimens. The layers of bitter, herbal and sweet continue throughout the beer, getting slightly stickier with a little warmth. Would it be a drink for a plate of kraut, potatoes and sausage? And a pretzel with spicy mustard? Hell yes it would! There’s gotta be a German food truck that will set up next to you, Oso Brew. La Ruta del Lúpulo and Madbeer have found them. And it wasn’t even Oktoberfest!
