Samuel Adams Octoberfest: Review


Seasonal
The Boston Beer Company
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Brewed with 5 varieties of malted barley
$8.99 a six pack
Purchased at Super Fine Wine & Liquor – Canton, MI

Appearance: dirty copper penny body with a fine light beige one finger head.

Aroma: mild octoberfest spice nose with a touch of toasted malt.

Flavors: light and grainy on the delivery, toasted grains kick in, touch of hoppy spice, and a hint of sweetness

Mouthfeel: Moderate fine carbonation, medium body, light bitter note that lingers on the back of the palate, roasted malty notes hang on the tongue.

My Strength Rating: 5.5 – a worthy medium body Octoberfest Lager. 

To the Point: Nothing bold or memorable but, a solid Marzen to enjoy this fall.  Six pack worthy because it is better than most.
