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.

Pours a clear amber. Small light tan head that fades fairly quickly. I detect malt extracts in the aroma and taste. Medium body. Sweet, easy to drink. I don’t think I would buy this again, there are many more superior Oktoberfest beers on the market.

Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma of fruit and some hops. Flavor of caramel malts. Pretty easy to drink. Not bad.

On tap at Carrabbas restaurant. Color is clear amber with small beige head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, toffee, and toasted barley. Taste is sweet and malty, with light hops. Medium mouthfeel with decent carbonation. OK.

Bottle. Nothing exciting here but a nice beer thats good for session drinking and maybe for some lighter food. Burned malt, some hops and the usual rotten vegtables.

Easy to drink, light body, fruity and sweet finish. Some hops and maybe a little spice. Decent marzen, not necessarily the best around.

Light and fruity aroma with some hoppy notes. Light body and not much of a finish.

22oz Bottle -- Dark copper-orange with a white head. Caramel malts are strong on the nose. Nice malty beer with hints of spice and a decent amount of hops. Good Fall beer.
