Sam Adams Octoberfest

Fall is my favorite time of year and nothing says "Fall" like the arrival of the Marzens/Octoberfests. Like most seasonals, Sam Adams Octoberfest is a little different each year. This year I'd describe it as big and robust, malty, yet hoppy. It poured with a tall foamy caramel colored head; the beer itself  is a deep coppery bronze hue. About the only extraneous flavors that I caught was a little orange peel. I could sit and drink several of these on a cool autumn evening .
