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 five 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.

Appearance - 4.0
A nice clear deep amber/brownish colour with a thick tan coloured head that leaves rings around the mug.
Aroma - 4.5
That first whiff brings in an obvious scent of pumpkins brought on by the mix of caramel and toffee malts.
Mouthfeel - 4.0
A nice full feeling beer in the mouth, not overly thick.
Taste - 4.5
A bitterness tasting of toffee is obvious on the tongue and lingers, with hints of caramel making itself noticeable and lasting longer on the tongue then the bitterness.
Overall - 4.5
It's a nice complex full flavour beer great for the coming nights as the temperatures start to drop.
