Yes, I know that Anheuser-Busch bought Old Dominion in 2007. Still, I enjoy their Lager, and their Oak Barrel Stout is not too shabby. So when I saw their Octoberfest! [emphasis theirs] at our local grocery store, I thought it was worth a try. I was wrong. They describe it thusly, "Our Autumn Seasonal beer is a traditional Maerzen style lager. We use eight types of imported German malts and four hop varieties to create this copper-colored fest beer." All I taste is malt. There are hints of burnt caramel and an attempt at spice, but really it's just a strong malt flavor. At 5.6% ABV, it's slightly higher than your typical beer, but a six-pack will run you $8.99.
