That is my favorite Sam Adams and really the only SA I drink anymore.

I used to love SA Oktoberfest, but just can't drink it this year. Not sure if it's different or my palate has changed. I hope the same doesn't happen when the Winter Lager rolls out...

I do enjoy this beer out of all the Sam Adams beer. It's my go to octoberfest beer.

I had one last week. From what I remember, it was good, but I had a few other beers before it, so my taste buds could've been off.

I did a blind taste of a few different Octoberfests with some friends yesterday. I forget what they all were, but all of us ended up picking Sam Adams as the best.

It's good and always drinkable but the over-exuberant malt list and use of too much crystal malt put it a notch or two below the real McCoy.

I like it. I try not to compare it of German marzens though. It's an American version, so treat it as that.

 

[ReverseApacheMaster]

It's average.

Sammy's Octoberfest has a special place in my heart. It's good as a commerical beer, average as an Oktoberfest/Marzen, but when I became of drinking age that was the only decent beer they served at the University of Nevada football games (yeah, that's right. We're one of the only schools that do that.) So every year when it starts to get cold and I see that beer in the grocery store it's like a "welcome back to college football" greeting.

Nostalgia tastes great, btw

This years is not as good. I have a 1/6 barrel of it on tap right now and it is quite good, but not REAL good like last couple of years.
