  New Glarus Staghorn Octoberfest
  rated 4.5 13 years ago

  Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

  For the style and type of beer it is it's second only to the Sam Adam's Octoberfest. A very good beer with a medium strength taste and smooth aftertaste. It's lighter than the SA but can hold it's own with me any time. I'm not a huge fan of New Glarus stuff, but this one is a keeper!

  Steel Reserve 211 High Gravity (6%)

  My local store switched out the Steel Reserve on me. I didn't notice until I got the bottle home that it was the 6.0% variety. I'm disappointed. The 8.1% had a noticeable metal-type of taste to it and it's not present in the 6.0%. I'm not sure why the store switched or was even aware of a lighter version, but I'm going to pay attention now. Boo.

  Samuel Adams Winter Lager

  Another nice offering from Boston. Pours a really nice, dark but transparent glow with just a little foam. Taste is smooth, heavy and consistant without any bad bitterness. There's a lot of good winter seasonal beers to choose from, but this one is near the top of my list.

  Great Lakes Grassroots Ale (Hale Ale)

  Not really a brew I'll be coming back to. Aroma was below average with not enjoyable odors. Appearance was the expected amber cloudy. Taste had a smooth start with a citric-like finish. Of the seasonals of this style, not one of the better ones.

  I was at a location that claimed to be exclusive to a draught version of this beer, so I had to try it. I remember the can version being bad, so I figured I'd have to slam the draught to get through with it. I was very surprised. It was really smooth with no "bitter beer" effects. Overall, it wasn't at all what I remembered. Pours pretty clear, has decent nose, and no outstanding negative tastes to it. For a lower priced beer it was pretty good.
