Samuel Adams Octoberfest
Far from my favorite style, but this is a quality beer. Can't compare to previous years, as this typically sells out quite quickly in Joplin Missouri and this is the first year I've been lucky enough to get ahold of some. That being said this very very fresh sample is quite the drinker. The appearance is a lovely deep amber, the head at first fairly thick but it tends to die down rather quickly. There is however lace left throughout most of the glass. Their's a fefinite malty smell and I can sense some spice as well. Above average smelling beer in each and every way. There's a sweetness to the taste and some caramel as well. All in all it's quite delicious. Could see myself drinking drinking this beer quite a bit as fall draws nearer, will just need to stock up before it sells out again!
