SoBloHero (56), Buffalo, New York, USA Mar 5, 2008 The Oktoberfest is one of my favorite Sam Adams Seasonals. It has a nice color and a significant malty flavor. It isn’t too bitter and enjoys some rather sweet flavors as well. Chedda (9), USA does not count Mar 2, 2008 A great Octoberfest, this is one of my favorite seasonals that I always look forward to. Its really spicy and has a great amber color not to mention the wonderful aroma. Oxymoron (104), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Feb 28, 2008 Pours a clear amber orange with red highlights. Limited head and lacing. The smell was pretty malty with a bready nutmeg aroma to it. Strong on the spices. The taste is very balanced with a slight roasted flavor and noticeable spice flavors, specifically nutmeg and cinnamon. I can notice a smoothiness from the lager yeast that is exceptional to most Ofests I’ve tried. The hops are not really noticeable but blend well with spices. The body is a good neutral, not overpowering, not too light. One thing I would like to see is less spice in the beer. That said this is one of the better Oktoberfest that I have had. epf33 (222), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Feb 22, 2008 beautiful deep golden amber, caramel flavor, very malty, top 5 sam adams brews i’d say! iride15 (169), Orlando, Florida, USA Feb 19, 2008 Updated: Mar 26, 2009A good example of an American brewery’s take on an Oktoberfest/marzen beer. The only thing holding this beer back is that it’s brewed for a larger scale production than most micros. But still, its got great taste and bitterness, and goes with about anything. brianprentiss (473), Portland, Oregon, USA Feb 18, 2008 this is one of the first full-tasting beers that I was exposed to. it was so different than the beers I was used to. that doesn’t mean its awesome, but for a marzen you can’t go wrong with this one. nice sweetness and maltiness. HUNTERNFLA (25), USA Feb 16, 2008 Updated: Mar 24, 2008THIS IS ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE BEERS WITH A CARMAL COLOR AND NICE SPICE AROMA THAT WILL KEEP YOU COMING BACK FOR MORE AND MISS IT WHEN ITS GONE
finish with a sweet malty mild caramel flavor mybestfriend (261), Gothenburg, Sweden Feb 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear copper colour with an off-white head. Malt, caramel and some citrus on the nose.
The flavour profile is very malty - buttery caramel - with some sweetness. A litllte bitter on the finish. Extremly drinkable!
