Fall Beers

[GhostOverride]

Ok I know this is early, but for those of us who love the fall and love the beers that the cooler weather brings along with it you may be excited. Fall is here early, really...really early. There are some pumpkin ales hitting the shelves already in some areas and I just picked up a case of Sam Adams Octoberfest today. This is getting silly as far as releasing seasonal brews early, but hey I'm gonna drink em...cheers!

I still say our in house brewers need to collaborate on an "Official USMG Brew"

[GhostOverride]

I have to say that there are very few beers that Sam Adams puts out that I don't like.

[GhostOverride]

It's time to face the fact the fall beers are here. Shipyards pumpkinhead is now on shelves

[MikaelTyson]

I'm a big fan of Sam Adams pumpkin and saracac pumpkin. Real quick before the summer ends, please try Blie Point Blueberry ale. Fuxing phenomenal.

I thought the blueberry hill was great, along with the porch rocker, but I am not shitting you, the blueberry ale by blue point is amazing


Also, I'm a big blackberry Whitbier fan, although oddly enough, I prefer it in the winter.

Southern Tier Pumking is about the only specifically seasonal fall brew I think I'm looking forward to at the moment. I'm not a huge fan of the Oktoberfest beers, I'm pretty much a Pale Ale / IPA guy with exceptions of course. If I'm not mistaken, most Oktoberfests are Lagers.

I do like the Whitewater IPA, although it does have a bit more of the citrus flavor than I like.

I suck on doing the reviews like Ed, so I'll quote someone else. I did enjoy it and would have it again. Great sound as the flip top opens, great aroma, excellent mix of flavors.


Gordon Biersch Brewing – Braumeister Selekt IPB Imperial Hopped Robust PilsnerPosted by Kevin (http://goodbeerfest.com/author/admin/) in Pilsner (http://goodbeerfest.com/category/beer-reviews/beerstyles/pilsner/) | 0 comments (http://goodbeerfest.com/2013/05/gordon-biersch-brewing-braumeister-selekt-ipb-imperial-hopped-robust-pilsner/#respond)

http://goodbeerfest.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Gordon-Biersch-Brewing-Braumeister-Selekt-IPB-Imperial-Hopped-Robust-Pilsner.jpg (http://goodbeerfest.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Gordon-Biersch-Brewing-Braumeister-Selekt-IPB-Imperial-Hopped-Robust-Pilsner.jpg)This beer arrived in the mail about a month after the Gordon Biersch Wiezeneisbock (http://goodbeerfest.com/2013/04/gordon-biersch-brewing-co-braumeister-selekt-weizen-eisbock/) I received. I really appreciate it when breweries send me beers – especially limited edition beers I can’t usually get here in central Illinois – to try.
The bottle says, “This is an intensely hopped, robust Pilsner that emphasizes the noble hops from Central Europe including Hallertau, Tettnang, Spalt, and Saaz. It has been brewed in accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516. Our IPB is naturally carbonated and unfiltered.”
Location: Poured into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass from the 750ml German-made flip top bottle at my home in Bloomington, IL.
Numbers: 6.5% ABV, 50 IBU, 190 Calories
Appearance & Aroma: It’s golden in color and pretty clear. It’s got quite a bit of carbonation in it, giving it an inch (or more) tall, thick, foamy, white head. The aroma is a bready, cracker-like pilsner smell.
Taste & Feel: It’s got a light-medium body and a crisp mouth feel. The crispness masks a slightly bready, cracker-like maltiness up front. In the middle, a noble hop flavor and bitterness enters with earthy, spicy, resiny hoppiness. The spicy hop bitterness steps forward in the finish, leaving the earthy and resin hop flavors in the background. All of the hop flavors balance back out in the hoppy aftertaste, which sticks around for a couple minutes.
Food Pairing: This had a good amount hop bitterness and flavor, and given the German heritage and hops of this style, I’d certainly pair it with German food. The beer is light enough that it wouldn’t fill you up, and would help to wash down some hearty, flavorful German food.

Overall Impression: This was a fairly light, crisp, drinkable beer with some solid noble hop bitterness. For a hophead like me, I really enjoyed the balance of hop flavor and bitterness, as well as the blend of hop flavors. If you prefer hoppiness over maltiness, this is a very solid Fall/Oktoberfest beer for you. I’m glad I got this big bottle, but I could easily drink a liter of it, while thinking about sitting in a beer garden in Germany. Overall, I really enjoyed this beer and would recommend it to other hopheads looking for a drinkable lager beer with a German or noble hop flair.

OH YEAH, did I mention, this one comes in a 750ml bottle, so after drink all of it the palate is left in much pleasure. :) I say go out and grab a bottle or two.

[Ragingclue]

I will have to try it. Thanks!

[ssandersjr]

I will have to try it. Thanks!

Also to add, I think the hop flavors come out a lot more as the glass sits, still chilled, but not room temp.

Just had my first Souther Tier Pumpking of the season...for those few minutes all was right in the world
