Oktoberfest

Mr. J. Twardy was correct in his analysis that today was a fantastic first official blazer outing for the Peculiars. As official scribe for the day, I thought I'd share our thoughts on some of River Horse's best brews. Here we go:

Dunkel Fester: The official Oktoberfest beer at RH, three of us tried this for our first beer of the day. We found it to be darker than we expected an Oktoberfest beer to be, but still found it to be good and flavorful. Alcohol content was 4.5%, so it was a low alcohol beer.

Imperial Cherry Ale: Ms C. Hallagan ventured this one in the first round. The ICA had a mahogany hue, but was still translucent in appearance. It was fruity and sweet with a sturdy head (pause for a "that's what she said"). C. Hallagan called it "very pleasurable"; I thought it was too hoppy. Alcohol content was 7%, so mid-range of the beers we tried today.

'91 Gold Double White Belgian (or something like that): Mr. J. Twardy's second beer. It was golden, light, and somewhat opaque. There was very little head, and it had a banana citrus twang, which was accented by the lady on stage saying the word twang literally 10 seconds after J. Twardy said it. Alcohol content of 7.5%.

Belgian Tripel: Yes, I meant to spell Tripel that way. This was beer number two for C. Hallagan and A. Stuckey. It had a crisp taste to it, a strong but subtle flavor. The color was described as somewhere between pumpkin and warm light amber. Alcohol content of 9-10%, which explains why A. Stuckey was a drunky by the end of the tasting and was reduced to hiccuping her way back to the car.

And that was it! As previously mentioned, fantastic day, lots of drunk people staring at our awesome coats. I'll leave it to Ms A. Stuckey to tell the highlight drunk encounter; I don't think I could do it justice.
