#21 Horny Goat Octoberfest
**Welcome to the Fall Part I**
It's fall,FUCK EFF-WORD YEAH! And because of that, my next three posts are dedicated to the beers that flood the market when the leaves start changing. It should be fun. I can thank the ladies over at Stouts and Stilettos for the idea, when they asked a simple question and it flourished into a nice conversation!
Next to Spring, this is my favorite season. Leaves are crunchy, the color palette is gorgeous and I can wear my totally bitching Puma jackets. As far as the beers go...Eh. I'm not a Pumpkin Ale kind of guy, I've only had a handful of Oktoberfest beers that I've enjoyed and I just haven't had enough hard ciders to make any real judgement. So I thought this would be a good idea to kind of force myself out of my comfort zone.
The beer that kicks off this trilogy is Horny Goat Oktoberfest. A 4 bottle sampler was gifted to me one day, containing today's brew, along with Exposed, Horny Blonde, and HornyCopia Pumpkin Ale. I drank one, tried one and instead of pouring it out, ended up putting in in a corn chowder that I was cooking, and gave the third one to my fiancee. And so I wouldn't have to go out and buy more beer, saved the Oktoberfest for this very blog post. This beer is very not good. Yeah, I said it.
Lets keep this short. it poured a nothing special Amber, with a one finger bubbly head. No lacing. For some reason, I wanted it to be darker. I guess its fine though. The nose is...brown sugar? It's kind of sweet and a bit malty. Drinking it is boring. Meh. There just isn't much to it. No body. It's thin, almost watery.
Ugh. If I had paid for these beers, I'd be pissed. And in discussing them with the individual who supplied me with them, he was too.
I get it the name is clever, laced with innuendo. I've seen other breweries tie in suggestive names with their brews, such as Thomas Hooker Brewery, or even City Steam. But the difference being those breweries are good. You need more than just a gimmicky name to keep people interested.
Sorry Horny Goat, you're not my cup of...beer.
