Food & Drink

As my horizons broaden into more seasonal beers, as they have lately, this was a natural choice. Whose favorite "season" doesn't involve Germans celebrating beer anyway? Octoberfest was featured as a rotating tap at a restaurant/bar; so my first experience is based solely on Octoberfest draft.

In a word: delicious.

To elaborate: I said that it was almost like having a meal in a glass, but that was misinterpreted as full-bodied. I realize that I chose my words poorly. This beer tastes like your favorite crusty bread soaked in beer. That may not appeal to you. It wouldn't appeal to the late Dr. Atkins. It appealed to me just fine.

I have a new reason to look forward to fall: the leaves change color; the temperature begins its descent; and Samuel Adams Octoberfest hits the shelves (and taps).
