COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The first thing you notice when pouring a glass of this seasonal beer is the color. Samuel Adams® Octoberfest has a rich, deep golden amber hue which itself is reflective of the season. Samuel Adams® Octoberfest is a malt lover’s dream, masterfully blending together four roasts of barley to create a delicious harmony of sweet flavors including caramel and toffee. The beer is kept from being overly sweet by the elegant bitterness imparted by the German Noble hops. Samuel Adams® Octoberfest provides a wonderful transition from the lighter beers of summer to the winter’s heartier brews.
Beer vintage abv varies from 5.0% to 5.5%

Nice full head, deep amber color. Heavy malty nose. Taste starts smooth and ends up almost like a wine. Strong alcohol in the aftertaste. There are better out there for sure.

ericmoss3799 (73) - Warwick, Rhode Island, USA - OCT 17, 2001

A good Oktoberfest, but the alcohol after taste is strong and gives the impression of rubbing alcohol.

FlemishChar (224) - Virginia, USA - OCT 12, 2001

Excellent color, strong, fruity aroma. I had this on tap and it tasted very fresh, reminded me of a 2 week old ale. Very clean and crisp with great maltiness and floweriness. I’m having more of this definitely.
