Friends us!!
So with Oktoberfest upon us you have noticed I have been doing a good deal of reviews on Oktoberfest styled beers. I recently found this article on the big six of Oktoberfest. I found that I have only had one of the six and as I recently reviewed it is my favorite Marzen out there, Spaten Oktoberfest.
This will mark my first, yeah I know pretty bad, trip to Oktoberfest. Every other year I just forget or can’t find anyone else that wants to go. I love lots of German styled beers and look forward to trying these other brews.
The big six are the following: Spaten Oktoberfest, Löwenbräu Oktoberfestbier, Augustiner, Hofbräu Oktoberfestbier, Paulaner and Hacker-Pschorr. This can of course differ from place to place and person to person. I have always heard good things about Löwenbräu and hope that the Lantana one will carry this.
If you check out the Events page on the site you will see the calender with the days of our local Oktoberfest. I’m not sure which day I will be attending yet but I will be attending. Once I know which one I will be going to I will post it.
Name – Tommyknocker Maple Nut Brown Ale
Country – United States
Type – American Brown Ale
Appearance – Light brown color with little to no head.
Smell – Very sweet and pleasant smell of maple syrup and brown sugar.
Taste – A slight taste of maple syrup but over all and kind of empty taste that leaves you wanting more.
I was recommended on this by the owner of PP Cobb while we were at the Treasure Coast Beer Festival so I decided to take a stab at it. The appearance and smell were really nice but when it came to taste it was seriously laking. Even with two bottles I was just wondering why the taste was so minimal. I was a little disappointed but may want to try it again sometime down the road.
Overall Grade – C
