Review: Prost Pilsner and Winter Lager
Prost may sound German — and the can even looks German — but it’s actually made in Colorado, focusing on Teutonic style brews. Here’s a quick look at a pair of brews from the operation.
Prost Pilsner – A clean and innocuous pilsner, just as it should be: Pale in color, lightly lemony on the tongue, and crisp with notes of saltine crackers and just the gentlest touch of baking spice. Lightly bitter but not at all hoppy, it’s a pleasant enough beer that you’ll undoubtedly enjoy most when it’s hot as balls outside. 4.9% abv. B+
Prost Winter Lager – A bigger, maltier lager — albeit one which is wholly approachable, I would argue, any time of the year. The rounded, almost chewy body is plumped up by a bit higher abv, and a vague suggestion of baking spices that grows stronger as the beer warms up a bit. On the finish, the brew is at its wintriest, slightly nutty but enduringly malt-driven. Solid, but not the “winter warmer” you might be expecting. 6% abv. B+
