Samuel Adams Octoberfest

One of the Boston Beer Co’s better efforts. Pours a beautiful dark copper, but aroma isn’t much to write home about- equal to that of a light beer. Taste is a bit of dark fruit, lots of caramel, malty. Not too much hop presence here. Quality session brew.

Poured a dark amber with a thick, fluffy white head. Smells lager-ish with perhaps some hints of citrus. Tastes pretty much how it smells which leaves a little something to be desired. Body seems about right, but the flavor is a little lacking.

Deep amber with fair white head. Good lacings. Taste is roasted malts with some bitter euro-type hops. Nice sessionable beer. I’ll have another please.

pour from draft at local watering hole in Boston. Good flavor, very drinkable... Not a great brew bit better than the other selections here. Better than the summer seasonal by SA.

This is a sweet beer with caramel and toffee flavors. It has a touch of nutmeg and other spice. It pours orangy with a small head. It is an average october fest type beer. Best of the seasonal lineup.

12oz bottle served in a lager glass. Pours amber with very little carbonation, almost no head. Very faint smell of sweet malts. Bready flavor, light bitterness. Pretty boring.

pours a deep amber color with a thin lasting head. not a very strong aroma, but there is some burnt roast and some hops. taste is of bitter hops and some caramel. finish is mostly smooth with a little bit of bitterness in the end that sits on the back of your tongue. Overall, not a bad beer and one that I would drink again.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear deep orange copper color with little head and and no lacing (it may be soap residue in the glass). Malty aroma with hints of caramel and spice. Flavor is in line with the aroma with a little bitterness in the finish to balance the sweetness. A little watery on the palate. Nice marzen that remids me that pretty soon I won’t have to cut the damn grass for a while.
