What beer are you drinking now? #1449

Good Morning Boils and Ghouls!
Beautiful fall day here in Mi.
Deserves some awesome morning coffee.



Cheers to a mild and easy going weekend!

 

Plus, I am not sure which cap went with which bottle - they could be flip-flopped.

 

Living out in the middle of nowhere, I get nostalgic any time I hear a fighter or even a big old B-52 take to the sky. Even if it is a Navy Jet

 

I noticed that exact thing. Sounds like we need a beer.

 

No new beers for me this weekend unless I really get motivated to go find some. I'm keeping it simple with a lot of marzens.

 

I love the artwork on that can. The pumpkin kinda looks like The Grinch.

 

The sound of freedom.

 

Yard work finished and drinking my last Pumpkin Down.
We're thinking of a movie this afternoon.

 

...! I think I just threw up a little. In my mouth.

 

(last night: 3 pints of HA Gone Away IPA. Heaven. Now resume your live-beer reporting.)

 

Is that watermelon juice on your tofu scramble!?!

 

The Sauce straight from the can!

 

Newburgh's MEGABOSS IPA after a bruising soccer contest this morning

 

Nah, just salsa and Sriracha!

 

A comfort beer after unpacking and getting settled back home. It looks like we got a lot of rain while I was gone as everything is green as can be including the trees. Going to be a busy day, but I'll take breaks to unpack my Colorado haul and my NBS goodies that @Dragginballs76 sent while I was away. It's going to be like Christmas morning tomorrow!

Have a great Saturday gang, I have some catching up to do.

 

On this beautiful October morning . . .



Score 3.53
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5

Light coppery color just like the brewer says, decent cap and lacing.

Aroma is mild malt like an unsalted cracker. Some hint of spicy hops.

Taste is the mildest of the Oktoberfests I've tried, which is to say a fair number of them both domestic and imported. Tempted to call it Okto Light. Malt never really asserts itself, some bread like notes appear, but all is covered by a slight hop bitterness at the finish. A pleasant nuttiness emerges in the aftertaste which is nice but would've made a better contribution earlier. The flavor is actually good there's just not much of it.

Texture is very smooth though rather light.

Overall this is a well made lager with no apparent faults. It should please a wide range of folks and that's a worthwhile goal. I'm surprised at the mildness of this version of a style generally considered to be somewhat more flavorful, but it is what it is.

 

Yeah, and where did all the noodles go?

 

Welcome back home!
Your travelogue was, in a word, awesome. Thanks for doing it.
