Samuel Adams Octoberfest

Brewed by Boston Beer Company
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Boston, Massachusetts USA

The best Octoberfest beer by far that I’ve had. Copper colored pour with an off-white head. Sweet malty flavor. Pretty smooth.

This is currently my favorite Octoberfest beer. Tasty with a mild sweetness.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
