Blue Moon Caramel Apple-Spiced Ale

Blue Moon Caramel Apple-Spiced Ale, Coors Brewing Company, Golden, CO

Not sure what I was expecting here, but I was disappointed. There wasn't much difference between this beer and Blue Moon's Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale. Good spices but it lost me after that. Where's the apple?

Another amazing porter! Nice roasted malt and chocolate aroma. Taste is much the same. Smooth and creamy with a dark malty finish.

Oktoberfest

As if there aren't enough Oktoberfest options this time of year, here is another. Pours an amber color. Aromas of bready sweetness and malt. Smooth drinker. Malty taste with hints of fruit and nut.

Erdinger Hefe-Weizen

Erdinger Hefe-Weizen, Erdinger Weissbrau, Erding, Germany

My brother sent me this one. Yeah, he mailed me two. He fell in love with this beer when he was stationed in Germany and recently ordered a case. It pours a hazy, golden, yellow with a thick fluffy head. You can smell the yeast and citrus. Yep...it's a German Hefeweizen alright. Taste is of grainy sweetness. It's smooth. A good hefeweizen. About what I expect from Germany.

Autumnfest

Autumnfest, Weyerbacher Brewing Company, Easton, PA

Light malty and spicy aroma. Flavor is similar...light roasted malts and nuts. A typical oktoberfest.
