Our Tastes-- Saranac Octoberfest

This month we will attempt to taste 31 beers in the 31 days of October to clear out some inventory. I know, what a problem. We may jump all over the place with the tasters or may even go through an entire line of beers from a company, but for now we lapse back to Saranac and their Octoberfest. The first characteristic that catches the eye is the absolute champagne-like clarity and orange hue. Next is the flattening head with uncooked bread dough aroma. Taste is bland, we can drink it, but the same goes for our own piss, if another option is available we may take it. Made with German pilsner and crystal malt, coupled with Saaz and Tettnang to yield a 5.4%abv bevvy.
