Been seeing a lot of recipes on HBT lately regarding Octoberfests, and based on the recipes and descriptions, they've looked really tasty!
So yesterday i was in the local bar, and they had two Octoberfests on hand, one was a Left Hand Octoberfest and the other was a Stoudts Octoberfest.
I tried both and really didnt like either. The color and aroma was wonderful, but both were sweet to the point of being sickly. And also very little discernible hoppiness. It really was a struggle to get through either of them.
Is this typical of Octoberfests to be super sweet? Does anyone know of these two brews personally and how they may relate to Octoberfests in general?
Suffice it to say, I gave Octoberfests a shot, but definitely wont be putting them on my brew list.
