Friday Night Lites!

Tonight we're sampling a lovely beer we bought at Trader Joes. Whenever I say Trader Joes I have the urge to sing it to this little ditty in my head but I have no idea what the ditty is! I wish google had a tune search. Ah, Flanny's big google idea. Beer blogger by night, job finder by day and google idea giver all the time. Is it ditty or diddy, P?

As I was saying, we stopped by Trader Joes and picked up this beer. I forget the name of it right now so I am going to describe it using my senses.


  1. It smells like a lager
  2. Looks like a lager
  3. Tastes like a lager with some Oktober to it (OK so I remembered it was an Oktoberfest of sorts).
  4. It feels wet, like a beer
  5. It doesn't sound like much.


It's has a light taste to it and now that I asked my hub to get the bottle I can confirm it is a beer, a lager to be specific. A win for flanny!

The name is Ayinger Oktober Fest-Marzen. It doesn't have a big aftertaste and this is the kind of beer I could drink all night, if I feel so inclined. It's better than Heineken but I would put it in that ballpark. One word I would not describe it as is estery. Ah, look at me getting all beer reviewery.
I think it is a good light Oktoberfest. I wouldn't say it's my favorite beer but lagers usually aren't. I like lagers when I plan to have a few or if I want a lighter beer.

I would recommend this for sailing on rivers and while watching So You Think You Can Dance.

It looks darker in this glass because
of the color of the pole. Deception!!
