This has improved a lot since I last reviewed it.

Pours a deep amber in color with a light brown head that reduces to bits of foam in my glass.

Light, sweet aroma of malt and fruit.

The taste is good. It's rich, but not cloying. Light fruity taste reminds me of grapes. Finishes with a light bitterness.

Solid body with nice amount of heft.

Overall this is a solid Oktoberfest beer. Nothing wrong here.

I tried some very good fall beers last year, but for some reason I love coming back to the Marzen style Sam Adams Octoberfest. For me it's the quintessential Autumn beer. It pours a deep amber color and possesses a sweet malty finish. A very nice divergence from many of the Highly Hopped IPAs around NE Ohio.

Sam Adams Octoberfest will always remain one of my favorites for the Autumn Season.
