As the fine month of October gets a bit chillier here in the northeastern United States, our Oktoberfest brews that we will sample will have a bit more bite.
I am a big fan of October, as readers of this blog know, the chill, crisp air still comfortable and without the bite of winter months, and images of pumpkins and leaf raking dancing in our heads. It is truly a grand time to be alive.
And truly a grand time for tasting good beer. Up next in our Oktoberfest tour is the offering from Detroit's Atwater Brewery, called Bloktoberfest.
It has a nice, but not overpowering, scent of caramel at the top, and a very even mix of malt and sweet hops upon first taste. It was a very nice, reddish-amber color, reminiscent of lazy autumn days. It has a musty, dry aftertaste that leaves a pleasant reminder in your taste buds that it was there.
I would recommend this with a hearty, warm stew on a crisp, but not freezing, fall day. And why not seek out a six pack and help out the local economy for our friendly acquaintances in Motown.
