VICTORY BREWING CO. - FESTBIER  Nice smell, roasted malt with some faint fruity notes. Taste has great malt character, mostly roasted malts with some slight sweetness. A little caramel taste too. This ia a really good example of an Oktoberfest style beer. Might be my favorite i have tried this year that was brewed in the states.

BOULEVARD BREWING CO. - BOB'S '47 OKTOBERFEST  This one seems like it has a little spice to it. I get some bready malts, a little caramel and some spicy hops. The taste starts with the toasted malts, more toffee than caramel and finishes with the hop spice. Drinks nice, and there is nothing bad about it, it just doesnt seem much like an Oktoberfest style beer to me.

SHIPYARD BREWING CO. - PUMPKINHEAD  Has a sweet pumpkin smell with some spiceness to it, maybe some cinnamon. Nice pumpkin in the flavor, but its definatly on the sweet side and the spices are more subdued in the flavor than they were in the smell. A really nice pumpkin beer, just wish it was a little less sweet. Perfect after beer to have after a meal in the fall, but probably wouldnt be one i would drink more than one of in a sitting.

UTFO - UTFO  Debut album from the 80s group. If you were a hip hop fan back in the day, you remember these guys made it big with Roxanne, Roxanne and that that song created lots of "response" records. It was pretty fun time and interesting. Great group with 3 rappers trading rhymes. Their first couple albums were really good and they kind of fell off after that. Still, their first couple records are well worth having.
