Samuel Adams Octoberfest
22oz bomber into mug App: Dark amber with a fluffy white head. Perfect clarity. Everything I look for in a marzen Smell: Sweet caramel malt dominates. A slight floral/herbal hop scent rides below. Almost smells like a bock/doppel. A bit heavy in the caramel scent. Too thick without any lager crispness. Taste: Greeted by a rush of carbonation which leads to a light, crisp malt profile. Taste like typical german caramel malt; that almost sour flavor. Ends with a perfect husky dryness that is almost equally matched by an earthy hop bitterness. The huskiness truly reminds one of fall and dry, autumn leaves Medium body that ends superbly crisp. Solid carbonation. Slight film from the husky malt.
