In this fall beer blog, we are going to get into another Oktoberfest from Cheboygan Brewing.  If you read my earlier beer blog posts on their beers, you know the history of this craft brewery.  If you have not, please, read them to get to know this Michigan craft brewery.  Let us get into this Oktoberfest Beer.

It has a nice clear light amber to dark copper color with a semi white head.  The smell has a candy to sweet caramel notes.  The taste has a sweet candy to caramel notes with a dry malty notes for the aftertaste.  It is pretty drinkable beer.

Here is a desecration from their website (www.cheboyganbrewingcompany.com):

Gold Medal award winner at the 2012 Frankenmuth World Expo of Beer!

The beer, created by the brewery’s operation manager and brewmaster Tim Perry, who was inspired by the 1976 Späten Oktoberfest bier from Munich, Germany, is orange in hue with a pronounced malt presence. 6% ABV IBU 28.  Available in the Fall.  Available in six packs seasonally.

In the end, I have been really impressed with all the fall seasonals asides the Erdinger, Griffin Claw, Atwater Brewery, and Weihenstephaner.  I have to say those were bad.  I believe that is four out of fourteen fall beers.  This brewery puts another good one on that list.  I am so happy to have a great streak of fall beers this season.  I love the candy to caramel notes from the malt. It is pretty sweet but yet has a nice malty dry finish.  It will have you coming back and drink more and more of this beer.  I highly recommend this beer.  You can find this one in the Michigan market.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

New Beer Blog Erdinger Oktoberfest (2014)

In this fall beer blog, we are going to get into Erdinger Oktoberfest.  Erdinger was founded in 1886 by Johann Kienle.  It is number one Hefeweizen in the world.  They brew several different Hefeweizen beer styles.  Let us get this fall beer.

It has a cloudy golden color with a white constant head. There is not really a smell on this fall seasonal.  The taste has a malty lemon to clove notes.  The aftertaste has a lemon to citrus finish.  It is pretty drinkable.

In the end, all those years living in Chicago, I never picked up a bottle of this beer.  I mean it was every liquor store I was in during the fall season.  I am pretty amazed that I did not pick one up.  It was a no brainer to pick up a bottle in this season.  I did not think I would find a bottle in Michigan.   I am glad I found a bottle right away.  I am shocked by the color but I really not.  It does not taste like an Oktoberfest.  I was pretty disappointed with this beer.  I was hoping for a lot more malty notes but then again it is another Hefeweizen.  I have to say it is nothing really special.  It is good but I am looking for malty fun at this time of the year.  If you are a fan of Hefeweizen, you would like this one.  I get why they put this up because it gives the beer drinkers something different. Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!
