12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Reviewed from notes.
A: Pours a very clear amber/orange Pillowy cream-colored head shows great retention. Small patches of lacing.
S: Thin caramel and toffee, a slight grainy smell, and berries and bubblegum. Earthy hops far in the background.
T: Chewy caramel and toffee open. Touch of woodiness. Toasted grain. Estery with tastes of bubblegum and berry. Maybe even some oxidation present here with a hint of wet cardboard. Earthy hops stay far in the background, as in the nose. Drying finish of toasted grain and a touch of sherry (probably also a product of oxidation).
M: Stodgy medium body with a deep firmness. A touch chewy. Mild carbonation. Round and smooth enough, but perhaps a bit big and half-baked.
O: I bought this on a closeout sale at the end of the fall season, so it may not be the freshest possible, but there's no way of knowing without a freshness date on the bottle. Still, oxidation should not be this obvious at this point. Even underneath the flaw of oxidation, this seems to be just a very average amber ale that the brewery decided to to call an Octoberfest for the sake of seasonal marketing.

An American Oktoberfest, probably all caramel and sweet malts, and it's even an ale, so we'll see. At least it's local.
Pours a smaller fizzy bubble 1/4 finger head that fades fairly quickly, touch of lacing, quite clear medium copper apple juice brown color.
Nose is full of copper malts, some toastiness and sweet grainy aromas, little caramel and touch of a syrupy like sweetness, fairly light ale like crispness and that typical ale aroma that's hard to describe otherwise except what comes in usually malty crisp ales.
Taste starts the same, lots of toasty copper malts, a little toasty and grainy but not much, some caramel flavors and a little toffee biscuit. A fair sweetness comes in with the caramel and a little syrupy flavor, grainy biscuit like malts really start to come through with a faint nutty flavor. Hops are there but very light, little grassy earthy like hop profile. Finish is drier but not a lot, little more sweet caramel and copper malts lingering, with a little grassy hop touch, and more of a basic clean ale finish.
Mouth is med bod, touch syrupy, and nice carb.
Overall not bad, as expected fairly syrupy and a bit sweet, lots of caramel coppery toasty grainy malts, very little hop, etc. Typical American Octoberfest which is a completely different style than the true German Oktoberfest/Marzen style, but I'm starting to warm up to the idea of the American Octoberfest as it's own style, as long as it's separated from the Marzen style.

Bottle from Harvest Market
Pours a clear copper color with a smallish off white head that hangs around for a bit. Light toffee and earthy floral hops in the aroma along with a hint of mineral water. The flavor is light toffee and sweet malts with a light fruity twang. Light earthy hop provides some balance. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick watery mouthfeel. Nothing horribly exciting here, pretty poor excuse for an Oktoberfest, I wouldn't buy this again.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle. Sampled on September 17, 2013.
The color is amber-brass in tone with a white head that dissolves quickly. Ongoing carbonation.
The aroma is mildly sweet with butter, biscuit, and malty characters. Not so much in the way of hops.
Medium body and somewhat creamy.
The taste begins with decent caramel sweetness followed by a slightly bitter but not offensive dryish finish. Lingers a little. It was a likable enough beer.

Self-aligning units operate with no seals or shields, are unaffected by washdown, and do not rust. On modular plastic- and wire- belt conveyors, Poly-Round® bearings will run 12 months without maintenance.
SKF USA, Inc. Lansdale, PA 19446 Jan 08, 2014 Offered in wide range of sizes, CARB® Toroidal Roller Bearings are non-locating solutions engineered to withstand operating conditions encountered in rotating machinery in steel mills, including casters, electric motors, and gearboxes. Self-aligning units, designed for radial loads, exhibit minimized friction as well as resistance to wear. Bearings can accommodate misalignment, adjust for axial expansion of shaft, and maximize load capacity due to long self-guiding rollers.
Saint Gobain Performance Plastics Garden Grove, CA 92841 Jan 06, 2014 NORGLIDE® composite bearings, by minimizing friction between shaft and cylinder block, promote efficiency and longevity of hydraulic pumps for off-highway construction equipment while also reducing energy consumption.

Plain bearing form, combined with cushioning quality of PTFE liner, compensates for thermal expansion of mating components during pump operation.
NKE AUSTRIA GmbH Steyr A - 4407 Austria Dec 19, 2013 Rolling bearing cages with DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) coating improve performance of radial cylindrical roller bearings and radial deep groove ball bearings in harsh operating conditions. Amorphous DLC coating on steel cages increases resistance to breakage and lowers coefficient of friction between rolling bearing shoulders and cage, which helps prevent premature wear or abrasion. Depending on design of bearing, cage may be machined of solid steel with inner or outer ring guidance.
SKF USA, Inc. Lansdale, PA 19446 Dec 05, 2013 Available with cylindrical or tapered bores in wide range of diameters, Explorer Spherical Roller Bearings utilize unique heat treatment for wear resistance, making them suitable for rotating machinery at steel mills. Two rows of self-guiding symmetrical rollers sharing common sphered raceway in outer ring serve to minimize friction and heat generation. Self-aligning capability compensates for misalignment between shaft and housing or shaft deflection without increasing friction.
IMI Sensors, Div. of PCB Piezotronics Depew, NY 14043-2495 Oct 30, 2013 Combining accelerometer and 4–20 mA transmitter in single housing, Bearing Fault Detector PLUS Model 649A03 provides 5 specialized outputs that, when used with control system, deliver early warning of bearing defects such as cracked races, brinelling, looseness, and spalling. Scaled output can be used to both trend data and trigger vibration alarms in PLC or DCS to closely monitor when machinery should be shut down and bearing should be replaced.
Boca Bearing Company Boynton Beach, FL 33426 Oct 14, 2013 Meeting photonics industry demands, ceramic bearings are non-magnetic, non-corrosive, and non-conductive.

Re: Billy Hamilton
Fangraphs write up on Hamilton from 7 May
But how much does Hamilton really have to hit if he's awesome on the bases and in the field? If you give Hamilton the 2012 fielding and baserunning numbers of Michael Bourn — 23.3, 6.1 — and the 2012 offensive numbers of Jordan Schafer — .211/.297/.294 — you get about a 1-win player. If you give him Mike Trout's baserunning production — 12 BsR — and a few more runs on defense, you might scrape a 2-win player together. That's fine, considering Schafer was below replacement-level last season, but it also assumes the elite production from the other parts of Hamilton's game. And even then it only nets you an everyday regular who should probably hit sixth or seventh to utilize his speed.
A 2 win player just off glove and base running assuming the bat is the worst case, Jordan Schafer's bat. I can dig that.
