Oktoberfest beers were traditionally brewed to celebrate the harvest. As a result they are often brewed with a slightly higher gravity than a brewer's regular offerings. Ein Prosit! is brewed in true Oktoberfest tradition. It is reddish amber in color with a malty aroma and a flavour that is predominant.

[1] Review by BigBry from Calgary, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (1/7/2006 2:28:31 PM)
"Pours a dark orange with a thin cap of tan head. Head quickly faded to a thin ring around the edge of my pint glass. Strong smell of sweet malt, caramel and toffee. Taste is somewhat sweet, but not overly sticky sweet. There is some nice hop balance that leave a slight bitter aftertaste. The slightest touch of metallic graininess right at the finish. Good body, low carbonation make it smooth and drinkable."

[2] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (11/2/2005 8:27:27 PM)
"What can I say about this elixir?!?! Very close to sex in a bottle. I like German beers and Marzen is a particular favorite and this rendition from Alley kat is the best Canadian Marzen I have tasted….beating out Dieu De Ceil, Cheval Blanc and other pub-brewed marzens I have tasted. The difference is in the hop mixture used in this brew….marvelous! Orange in color with a tall frothy cap and a delicious sweet bread and caramel aroma interposed with whiffs of German herbal hops. Medium bodied, creamy delivery of chewy sweet malts and earthy-musty notes…a great Oktoberfest in the finest Teutonic fest-bier tradition. I can’t get enough of this brew…too bad it’s a once a year phenomena."
