You feel it coming. It’s so close. October; perhaps the most metal month ever. I am getting a very early (but seasonally acceptable) start with this bomber from one of Beertastic’s favorite breweries, Three Floyds.

Brewery Home: Munster, Indiana

Serving Style: Bomber into pint glass into my belly

Beer Style: Oktoberfest

Appearance: Minimal white head. The body is a rich golden yellow that’s somewhat hazy.

Aroma: Big, bready pilsner malts in a lovely duet with light, clean noble hops. Sweet finish with maybe a hint of tarty green apple esters. Three Floyds again delivers a big beautiful nose.

Taste: Somewhat sharp carbonation. Flavor begins grassy and hay-like with undertones of dark fruits and caramelized sugars. Rounds off into an almost corn bread finish (lightly sulfury as it warms?). Aftertaste is well rounded and somewhat sweet – as the beer warms it becomes much more grassy. Not one of their more ‘crazy’ brews but nonetheless very easy and enjoyable drinking. Jenny really likes it, maybe even more than I do.

ABV: 6.0%

Drink one or all?: Hurray for bombers

Cost: $8/bomber (?)

Overall: 16/20
