Bell's Octoberfest Beer: Review


Bell’s Brewery, Inc.
Comstock, Michigan, USA
5.8% abv
12 oz bottle
$9.99 a six pack
Purchased at Super Fine Liquor and Beer – Canton, MI

Appearance: rich amber body with a fine light beige one finger head.  Nice lacing on the side of the glass that only builds with each sip.

Aroma: very light – I had to get my nose down in there and there is a light toasted malt and sweet-spice bread note.  Whatever the nose is it is just boring.

Flavors: very tasty toasted malty grains, touch of roasted caramel, firm hoppy spice and slight bitterness.  The spice and toasty malts just swirl together for a tasty Octoberfest treat.

Mouthfeel: lingering Octoberfest spice on the palate.  Low-moderate carbonation. 

My Strength Rating: 6/5.5 – the taste of this beer is exactly what I mean by Octoberfest spice. 

To the Point: Yes, very worthy of a six pack.  Strike up the Ohm-pa band and roll out the barrel for this is a classic example of an Octoberfest Lager.
Sure buy a case and enjoy yourself.
