Beer Review: Bell's Octoberfest

I've been dragging my feet on the reviews lately, which is bad for two reasons. First, people seem to like reading them. It's never a good idea to hack off your readers. Second, we're at the tail end of Octoberfest season. This is probably my favorite time of the beer year. Sure, the Winter seasonals are great (and many of them are already in stores), but there is nothing like a great Octoberfest.

Tonight's selection is Bell's Octoberfest. Bell's is a very consistent, high quality Michigan brewery. I'm a fan of most of their line up. The Octoberfest has a clear, amber color to it. The aroma is dominated by the caramel smell from the malts, not surprising for this style. The taste is smooth and sweet. It's flavorful but not too heavy. The caramel taste of the malts coats the inside of your mouth, leaving a pleasant after taste. The finish is a little surprising. There is a small bite from the hops, but nothing overpowering. I definitely didn't see it coming, but the harshness is reduced as you continue drinking.

I urge you to get your hands on the Octoberfests while you can. Hacker-Pschorr's is great this year, as is Sam Adams' and Flying Dog's. Don't you just love Octoberfest?


I know I do.

If you're interested, here are the controls for "Fortnite" if you are playing on an iPhone. As you can see, it is very simple. The match is coming shortly to Android, says Epic Games, the founder of "Fortnite." But it's unclear when, and which devices will be encouraged. And sure enough, reducing the sensitivity settings of your controllers -- mmogo fortnite items shop if you're using a console control or a keyboard and mouse -- can sometimes help you steady your aim.

To visit your preferences, click the equipment icon in the top right corner of this screen as you're enjoying the game or waiting in the lobby. There, you will understand your controller sensitivities. While you're there, however, be sure to revisit your additional controls and settings. You may want to tweak a few of those, use the changes, buy fortnite weapons and see how the game plays. You never know: Occasionally, a simple tweak is all you need.
