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.

12oz. Bottle pours deep amber. The taste of this brew is charachteristic of many octoberfests. It is a spicy yet tempting brew that does not necessarilly dissapoint.

This is one of my favorite beers of all time. I may start hording it to drink it throughout the year. It is a great complement to cold fall and winter nights.

deep amber brown color with lots of light bubbles. aroma is of toasty malt, and the head is delicate. it’s a good fall lager, nice and malty with a little bit of bitterness in the finish. i like this one; it’s nice and mild.

Orange-copper color with a small off-white head. Aromas of carmel and spices. Flavors are malty with a very fake tasting spicy "funk". Highly carbonated.

Bottle. One of Sam Adams best beers! Doesn’t have the same skunky tastes as most SA’s do. Refreshing brew from this company.

Great color and head. Fresh aroma with a deeper taste, perfect for when the weather begins to cool down.
