The Dirt
As previously noted, I love the fall beer season. Part of my love is derived from Oktoberfest beers, which to me seem like a fuller, more flavorful amber - a true celebration of the harvest. The Sam Adams Octoberfest does just that. Despite having great earthy malt tones, it's not too sweet, yet has lots of great roasted grain flavor. It nicely balances these tones to be full of flavor, yet is crisp like the changing weather. Overall a very good rendition of this wonderful seasonal style.
Worth it?
Oktoberfests are around for only a short period of time before stouts and porters take over the entire shelf. I always like getting the Sam Adams harvest mix pack, which has this in it plus other fall favorites. So in that case, it definitely is, but it certainly is worth a purchase on its own if all you want is a tasty Oktoberfest.
The Final Word
