Samuel Adams-Octoberfest



So, now that things a relatively back in order, lets get back to work! Too many lonely beers are living in my fridge, and it is high time that I kill them. Lets see what I can get done tonight. Again, sorry for the huge delay in postings.
I have one autumn beer left, and then we can move on to the many winter/Christmas brews that are stockpiled. Samuel Adams Octoberfest is that last autumn seasonal, and it is brewed by the Boston Beer Company. They have breweries in Boston, MA, Cincinati, OH, and Breinigville, PA. I think that I bought this at Schnuck's in Florissant, MO for a Halloween party the wife and I were having. I can not tell you the alc/vol %, because the bastards did not print it on the label. They did bother to say that it was brewed with a blend of five malts and Noble hops. Why are the hops Noble? I dunno. Maybe they hold doors open for women and donate money to the United Way. You can call the Boston Beer Company and ask them at 1-800-661-2337.
Anyway, this lager has a medium amber color, and a pleasant aroma. There is a not-too maltyness that drinks smooth and easy. No bite, so you wimps don't need to worry. I guess none of us need to worry really, as I doubt by this date (Dec. 5th) that you can even find it stocked in most stores. On a scale of 1-10, I'm giving it a 6.5. Not too shabby, fun and easy to drink!
