    Hofbräu Dunkel

    Name – Hofbräu Dunkel
    Country – Germany
    Type – Dunkel Lager

    Appearance – Deep red almost brown color.  The first glass produced a very small head that disappeared almost immediately but my second had a much fuller white frothy head.

    Smell – Malty smell but was a little sweet like citrus.

    Taste – Sweet taste similar to the smell.  A hint of honey.

    Dunkel lagers are quickly becoming a favorite of mine and this one definitely is up there.  I kind of chose this one at random just because it was a dunkel.  I was not disappointed at all as it was a nice full taste that I was hoping for with that bit of sweetness.

    Overall Grade – B+

    Penn Oktoberfest

    Name – Penn Oktoberfest
    Country – United States
    Type – Marzen

    Appearance – Light amber color with a very, very minimal head.

    Smell – Sweet malty smell.

    Taste – Malty but not very strong on it’s taste. Sort of watered down.

    With getting into the season of fall coming up I decided to give another “Oktoberfest” American brew a try. I know I had another Penn Brewing beer not to long ago and I like to try to space out tastings from particular breweries but I just got caught up in the upcoming season. I found this kind of disappointing as the taste was just not there. It was not that full and tasted a little watered down.

    Overall Grade – D+

    MOJO IPA

    Name – MOJO
    Country – United States/ Boulder, Colorado
    Type -IPA

    Appearance -Slight gold and amber mix. Nice head, very thick, yet disappeared quickly.

    Smell – Earthy smell and very hoppy.

    Taste – So so very metaly, with a bit of iron. Good carbonation and a bit tart. Not a favorite, and not a top ten. Mojo is very watered down for me, and has a less favorable after taste.

    ABV 6% This is the first time I have sampled a Boulder Beer, I won’t let this beer keep from tasting others. Out of all the IPA’s I have tasted this would be my least favorite, but others may love it. As always if you have tried this beer or others from this brewer and have any suggestions let me know.

    Overall Grade – D+
