Wachusett Octoberfest

This the second selection from the fall mix pack. I like this offering a little more than the other Octoberfests I've tried so far. I'm not sure why, it seemed very drinkable, if you know what I mean.

Harpoon UFO Pumpkin

I got mix pick of different fall/pumpkin beers to try. The Harpoon Pumpkin was good, you could really taste the pumpkin and the spices. I may try this with a shot of vanilla vodka next time.

Sierra Nevada Tumbler

This Autumn brown ale from Sierra Neveda is a full bodied good beer. It has a little bite for a brown ale, but a nice enjoyable brew.

Saranac Irish Red Ale

I didn't know that Saranac had an Irish Red. Not bad. Not bad at all. I will have to try it again sometime.

Harpoon Octoberfest

I like Harpoon. Their Octoberfest is good. There is nothing really special about it though. I think I would get this over some other "big" brewers October offerings.

Newcastle Werewolf Blood Red Ale

This fall offering is not an Octoberfest, but a good Red Ale. I will buy this one again.

Lake Placid Craft Brewing Hefeweizen

I also picked this up in Vermont. I like this beer, though it different from most Hefeweizens. It seemed a little bolder and fuller, and to me a good beer to drink.

Otter Creek Oktoberfest

I also bought this Vermont beer while camping. It's good as well, but I liked the Long Trail Harvest a little better.

Long Trail Harvest Brown Ale

I picked this up in Vermont while camping. I like this beer, a lot. I've always been a fan of Long Trail, but this seasonal is outstanding. Maybe because it's brewed with a touch of maple syrup, but it hits the spot with me.

Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale

I like Smuttynose, so I thought I'd give their Pumpkin Ale a try. Very nice. Good pumpkin flavor that is not too overpowering.

Sam Adams Octoberfest

I think August is too early for the fall beers, but I decided to try this years batch. Not bad, but not knock you socks off either. Plenty of more fall beers to try.

Wolavers Brown Ale

Wolavers is Otter Creek Brewery's organic beer line. The Brown is quite good, even for being organic.
