This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Samuel Adams Octoberfest Lager.
As I mentioned last week when reviewing the Samuel Adams Spruce Lager (reviewed here http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2018/10/sunday-night-suds-samuel-adams-spruce.html) I was shocked when I realized that I had never reviewed the Octoberfest, even though I have had more than a few of them over the last twenty or so years that they have been making it. But somehow I must have missed it, so no time like the present. Especially while it is still October!
Octoberfest beers fall in the Marzen category which used to mean that before refrigeration they would brew these beers in March and then put in what passed for "cold storage" through the spring and summer. B'H that's not the process any longer, but the style of beer which leans on the malts for its flavor is still going strong. This beer is no exception and the caramel notes of the malt are prominent. The alcohol content at 5.3% is on the low end of the scale for an Octoberfest, but the beer does not taste "light."
The Octoberfest is under the Kosher Supervision of the Star-K and has a Star-K certification mark on the label. To see what the experts on Beer Advocate think about this brew, please follow this link - beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/35/102.
As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
