iabeerguy (158), Iowa, USA Jul 31, 2009 The best Octoberfest beer by far that I’ve had. Copper colored pour with an off-white head. Sweet malty flavor. Pretty smooth. psusoccer21 (5), Virginia, USA does not count Jul 23, 2009 This is currently my favorite Octoberfest beer. Tasty with a mild sweetness. Travlr (700), Washington, Washington DC, USA Jul 18, 2009 What on earth s this? It is light like most Oktoberfest brews. But also sweet, malty, yeasty and bitter all at the same time, and at random. Not well done. beerfest5 (128), Simsbury, Connecticut, USA Jul 14, 2009 Like another rater said, I owe a lot to sam adams for my "stepping stone" beers and this was one of them. I used to love this beer when i didnt really know any better, and now, its ok, not great, way too malty for my palate now, but still nice on a fall night. marcus (1826), Sacramento, California, USA Jul 6, 2009 This copper beer poured with a thin beige head that quickly disappeared. There is a rather skunky malt aroma and a carbonated toffee flavor. It’s pretty thin. Vertical Bacon Strips (874), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Jun 27, 2009 Poured out a nice crystal clear burnt orange brew with some rocky tan coloured head that died very quickly and left little lacing and has no retention. OK, first smell gave me a standard lager impression but weak, slightly roasted and caramel malts show up quite distinctively. There isn’t much here in the way of aroma here but isn’t that bad - it just took too long to come around. Meh for taste. There is nothing here at all that appeals to me. No balance, no complexity, some caramel, a bit chewy, malts are so so, a bit of candy. I think the spicy hops in here are terrible. Decent mouth feel, lots of carbonation and light bodied with a mid length bitter finish. This is not a bad beer overall but I think this is a total waste of money. Rciesla (3510), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA May 28, 2009 Bottle and on draft. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Caramel and a light fruity body dominate the beer a slight metallic like tin flavor maybe its the choice of hops. Never was crazy about this one.
