The Samuel Adams Octoberfest from Boston Beer Company in Boston, Massachusetts pours out a rich copper in color with good clarity and a thin, light tan head. On the nose aromas of toast, warm spice, caramel sweetness and faint hops. In the mouth this has a lot of caramel malt but is not overly sweet. Warm spice tingles the tongue as do a touch of hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied. Nice carbonation. Decent lacing. Slight creaminess to the mouthfeel. Good malt through an extended finish. I expected this to be good as Sam Adams makes good beers but it exceeded my expectations. Pick up some and try it.

12 ounce bottle, 5.70% ABV
