Mike's Beer Review: Samuel Adams Octoberfest

ok.. i should start with this.. this is actually the first beer that i actually liked about 5years ago, when i started drinking beer..

with that said, it was also the ONLY beer that i drank for a while.. Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall..

until, about 6months ago.. since then i've learned to expand my beer pallet
Now, to the reveiw..
Sam Adams says: "  Samuel Adams® Octoberfest has a rich, deep reddish amber hue which itself is reflective of the season. Samuel Adams Octoberfest masterfully blends together five roasts of malt to create a delicious harmony of sweet flavors including caramel and toffee. The malt is complimented by the elegant bitterness imparted by the Bavarian Noble hops."

i do get the sweet flavors, a nice maltiness.. not overly bitter , which is a nice change from the IPA's we've been having all summer..
there is a live roundness of the flavors.. somewhat "earthy" ..
they were right when they said:"Samuel Adams Octoberfest provides a wonderful transition from the lighter beers of summer to the heartier brews of winter."

while i would drink this again, i doubt i would actually buy it again.. so if ya'll invite me over, and you have some to offer, i will gladly accept!

Overall i'd say a 75/100
