Samuel Adams Octoberfest

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

12 oz bottle. Pours a amber color with a large and lasting off white head. It has a very pleasant creamy taste, tastes of bread and has a nice roasted taste. This strikes me as a really good beer and I look forward to drinking it again.

Amber coloured beer with small off-white head and medium carbonation. Malty hoppy aroma. Full bit sparkling palate; Finish is bitter hoppy, rather soft finish bit creamy.

Draft, my other choices were BMC so this was a no brainer. Nice little head, red in color, not much aroma maybe some bready maltiness. Taste is kind of nice. Maltiness, bread with some caramel. Light in texture easy to drink. Oveall not bad at all.

On tap. Clear amber with a foamy off white head. Bready malt aroma with light German hop scents. Taste about the same with sweet bread like malt flavors and a good bitterness to balance it out. Medium body with average carbonation and a smooth finish. Nice Marzen.

Pours dark amber with creamy head. Pleasant malty aroma.Clean, malty finish. Light hopping. A little low on mouthfeel, but a very good Oktoberfest.

Poured from bottle into Summit Pint glass. Clear amber-orange with thick foamy head that really lasts. Smells very dry, with notes of toast and spicy noble hops. Really don’t detect very much here. Light flavored Marzen overall. Slightly sweet caramel and toast. Minor spicy noble hop finish. Don’t really notice much biscuit, as expected for the style. While it sounds like I am complaining, I really do like this beer and its overall balance. Moderate carbonation, medium but thin body, fairly smooth and slightly dry finish. This may be the easiest drinking Marzen out there, but that doesn’t necessarily make it the best, as it is just slightly too light on flavor. Great nonetheless.

Nice amber/orange color; Medium body; Aroma of hops and spice; Flavor of sweet hops, malt, citrus and some caramel; A little on the light side, but a good seasonal brew.

Amber-orange with good head and lacing, with aroma and taste being of sweet malt/fruit. Very good for the style(which I’m not really a fan of), Sam Adams rarely dissapoints me, but that being said, I’m sure there’s much better Oktoberfest Marzens out there.
