Grim Reaper's Eulogy
This Oktoberfest by Beck's is quite a tasty devil. The only thing missing is a bit more punch on the ABV. Most Marzens are in the 6% range but this one weighs in a a scant 5%. No matter. It is such a delicious and easy to drink Oktoberfest style beer, that the lighter alcohol content will keep you going.
I happened across this beer while in a remote part of central Florida this weekend. A favorite haunt of mine, it's a small German bakery and deli on a country road in a town named Yalaha. I ordered my sandwich and was blown away when I saw the German beer selection. Having just missed their Oktoberfest-tivities, the fridge was well stocked with Marzen beers. Need I say more? It went well with the German ham and Swiss cheese sandwich, oh yeah, and the German potato salad. Mmmmm. Good eating and drinking for the Reaper! Muahaahaahaaaa!
