Sam Adams Octoberfest - Continues to be the leader for the Domestic breweries. This recipe feels like it's consistently been on point. At times I feel the hop selection is starting to taste like every single Sam Adams though. Hard to fuck with an American Standard though. A
Wachusett Octoberfest - wasn't exactly blown away by this. Average Marzen style is average. No aroma. Has a bland toasted fruity note to it but finishes uneventful. B- |
|
Had some ganset fest cans last night. I've been really happy with their seasonals |
|
Just had a Spaten Optimator and Weihenstephaner Hefe here in Portland at PROST. Great beers. Looking forward to the season. |
|
You're in Oneiric Realm? Nobody told me. Welcome aboard. |
|
Magic Hat's Hex is pretty good. |
|
Octoberfest should not be sold before September 1st.
Sam Adams has been going downhill for years, but yes i will agree that the Octoberfest has maintained it's integrity. Wachusett has always tasted odd to me, every brew has a funky flavor, like they use bad water or something.
Paulaner Oktoberfest is delicious. |

A-FUCKING-MEN |
|
i don't even like to drink it until the equinox, but i can deal with September 1. i just won't go out of my way for it. IT'S STILL SUMMER. |
|
I went out to eat on Friday, asked for a Summer, and they said they had already moved to Octoberfest...I got that instead, but it just felt weird drinking it when it's still hot out |
|
eh good beer is good beer. if some hands me a cold octoberfest imma gonna drinks it. |

i would normally agree with this, but it's my favorite beer by far. I just hope the winter ale isn't out before Halloween. |
|
I bought a sixer of Sams Octoberfest back in the beginning of August out here, I accused the packy guy of finding some out back and just putting them out. I knew him, so he laughed.
But really, IT'S STILL SUMMER |

When I read this it sounded like Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey. In my mind. |
|
the brooklyn oktoberfest is awesome this year |
|
Fall beers are the best. They should come out sooner and leave later. |

I am glad I'm not the only one who thinks this... |
|
I have tried so many times to enjoy Sam Adams, but to this day i still hate it. But my beer of choice is Natural Ice, so what do I know? |

Spaten Octoberfest - WOW THIS IS THE REAL DEAL! This is a blueprint for real Octoberfest, so you can't really fuck with it. It actually has a very similar taste to Heineken, Hacker Pschorr or Bitburger but there is a profound deep body that will rock you. I'd be very curious to see what went into this, perhaps a line of Vienna/Bavarian malt and hops, obviously. I'd honestly compare this to Czechvar/Budweiser = Spaten/Heineken, in terms of an American company trying to clone timeless recipes. EXCEPTIONAL! A
Harpoon Octoberfest - not bad not bad. This batch is clearly better and more basic than that pumpkin they've been putting out lately. I think I like it more than Sam Adams, therefore I'd take my Sam Adams rating down to an B and give this an A-.
Dundee Octoberfest - ain't too shabby! I'll give this a good score mainly because IT'S CHEAP. scored a 6 pack for only $6.99. Taste just as fine as the others I've talked about in this thread but it's CHEAP. B+ |
|
Narragansett Fest - You know, something is up with this this year. I coulda sworn that the Fest batch last year tasted like a bag of leaves. In fact they were so bad that I'm pretty sure I was still drinking the fuckers at Ralph's into mid January this year (YOSH!!), so maybe that could account for such a bad batch memory. Fuckin a. This ain't that bad this year. After getting dazed in the sweet amber red color, I fallen for the cheapest Fest Ale in New England. B+ |

otter creek oktoberfest > everything in this thread. |
|
Told ya the ganestt fest was good. |

Tolerable and good do not mean the same thing. You fail English. |
|
Funny thing is the ganaett fest actually scored a b+ on beer advocate.com. yet it only gets a 47 out of 100 on ratebeer.com
Beer advocate seems to be really laxed on their rating while rate beer is super anal. |
|
Harpoon 100 Barrel Session #38 Dočesná Czech Hop Harvest Ale - Excellent take on Czech beer and a wonderful concept to switch up traditional Harvest/Octoberfest ales. Great medium body and bright flavor on the tip of the palate. NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE DIG CZECH BEER. B+ |
|
Shiner Octoberfest is usually good, haven't tried it yet. I agree with Sam Adams losing something. I think the hop selection has lost it's power, it's all been kind of bland lately. I'm a huge fan of New Belgium Brewing, they make an Abbey that is amazing. They make Fat Tire Ale, I think that's there claim to fame if you guys have it out there |
|
YOU CAN GET SHINER IN IL??? THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY IN TX. |
|
Right now, I'm obsessed with the Fall blend of Otter Creek hard cider. I know it's not beer, but that stuff is delicious. |
|
Yea, Shiner is everywhere out here, on tap even, that's some tasty shit |
|
Enjoying this Tank 7 farmhouse ale right now. Hoppy and sweetness extremes. Not a lot of beers really get the farmhouse style right, but this is the best I've tried. |
|
Boulevard is some tasty brew. Their sampler 12 pack is awesome! |
|
great, i'll keep an eye out for it. boulevard gives a good first impression. |
|
if you can't find the sampler, the Wheat is my favorite and seems to be the most commonly available |
|
|
NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE DIG CZECH BEER. |
Agreed. |
|
|

|
Agree 100%. |
|
oh man, you guys have to try and find Boulevard Bob's 47 Octoberfest. Shit is so smooth and tasty! 5.8% |

Just bought a bunch of Boulevards. Drinking the Quadrupel Ale now. Great stuff. |
|
I went through a sixer of Sam Octoberfest a couple nights ago. One of the better Sam Adams beers easily, but it's still no Scotch Ale in my mind. |
|
MEH... Nothing special.... Wouldn't drink again if I had other Oktoberfest beer options.
Incredibly smooth... Best octoberfest i've had yet IMO...
Nice and crisp... A little bitter as it is a brown ale, but not overpowering. Would definitely get a 6 pack and drink again happily.
So good...Do I get more Magic Hat or Harpoon? Decisions, decisions...
Tomorrow I try these:

i had the Sierra Nevada Tumbler this weekend. that description is spot on to how i felt about it. |
|
Linenkugels is fucking disgusting. Everyhting they make is girly little shit fucking awful garbage. I don't like it |
|
I bought a sixer of Leinenkugel Berry Weiss once and it tasted like a fucking wine cooler. Fuck Leinenkugel. |
