Frovigalning (398), , Sweden Sep 27, 2009 Poured a clear dark golden liquid with a medium sized slightly dirty brown foam that left some lacing. It hada smell of bread, caramell and metall. It tasted of caramell, bread, malt, burned toast and something sweet, sugar for instance. It was smooth and easy to drink but also a bit watery. Decent lager. DBob5150 (31), Kansas City, Missouri, USA Sep 25, 2009 Pours nice orange color with thin white head. Pleasant aroma with slight hoppiness. Taste is slightly sweet (hint of coffee & caramel) but not overpowering. Leaves a clean aftertaste. Excellent autumn brew. Impressed! bobman006 (38), New Jersey, USA Sep 25, 2009 Bottle. Dark copper pour with small, diminishing head. Aromas of grain, grass, earth, and spice. Flavors of grain, caramel, spice, and a sweet corn note. Consumable. Still has that SA generic/stamped quality but is quite nice. dimenhetfield (157), , Florida, USA Sep 25, 2009 A pretty good octoberfest beer. Dark amber color with flavors of malts,caramel. Refreshing and satisfying. When this comes out I always know it’s time for October. KajII (50), Macon, North Carolina, USA Sep 25, 2009 Bottle. Poured a clear Redish-Orange in color with a small white head that dissapated quickly. The aroma was sweet with a hint of caramel and a scent of hops. The flavor was mildly hoppy and slightly sweet with a malty aftertaste. The mouthfeel was smooth and creamy. Overall a fine representation of a German Octoberfest. dnoaksson (144), , Sweden Sep 25, 2009 Ganska behärskad, väl avvägd, med perfekt passform för strupen. Ett försiktigt överdrag av sötma som gör den lättdrucken utan att bli slät och ointressant. Samuel Adams visar som vanligt en hög lägstanivå. amarcero (8), , Vermont, USA does not count Sep 24, 2009 Quite nice. It tastes like a lighter version of Long Trail’s Double Bag if any New-Englanders are familiar. One of my top 5 Sam-Adams, but that isn’t saying much...
On a seperate note, I compared this to Spaten’s Oktoberfest, I like Sam Adam’s WAY better. Spaten had a skunky note similar to other European imports. Maybe it’s better across the pond, but even without the skunkyness, Sam Adams still had a nicer body. MikeKeller (39), Finland Sep 24, 2009 Nice caramelly aroma which I always like. Beautiful clear orange color with small white head. Flavor is full of caramel malty taste with some hops in the end. Medium body. Overall a nice, tasty octoberfestbier.
My third Samuel Adams and I’ve liked them all.
