Nov 4, 2007 Cask @ Brazen Head: OK whats up with the red dye job. I don’t drink green beer either. I really couldn’t smell much of anything in there. Yeah some malt but meh. I did pick up some kool-aid powder, punch flavor, but I don’t know if it was my imagination due to the look of it. Holy crap as I am typing this the Kool-aid pitcher guy was on Family Guy. What are the odds. Also what are the odds that such a crappy beer gets my longest rating.

Nov 3, 2007 Draught at Brazen Head. Bright red beer with a huge red head. Looks like a bloody mess. Actually smells like beer. Light toasty munich malt and soft herbal hops. A bit of soft caramel flavour as well. Quite fresh and fairly balanced. It’s tough to get past the appearance, but it’s actually a pretty solid brew. Softly herbal bitterness on the back.

Nov 13, 2007 Draft at Hop Devil. WTF orange. Seriously.
No, seriously. Why does this have a bright orange head. Weak, light cranberry aroma. Rice. Goes down easy, light corn/rice taste, fusels, tar. Not as drinkable as a real octoberfest. And if this weren’t bright bullshit orange I would’ve given it a 3.1.

Nov 4, 2007 Tap at the Brazen Head: Strawberry color bright red with a bright red head. (All food coloring/artificial) Surprisingly clean malt aroma, fresh and doughy. Decent texture. The appearance would suggest it’s taste articial, but it doesn’t. It actually has a lightly spiced malt body with a balanced flowery bitterness. Better than expected (for the entire premise of the beer)

Oct 28, 2007 On tap at Barcade; poured a red color with light pink head. Color looked dyed and somewhat offputting. Definitely not normall for beer or the style. The flavor was very malt focuses and didn’t hit the style well at all. Not tasting bad, but really not an octoberfest beer in my opinion.
