As this is the last day I will let myself drink something with October in the title, I figured this was an appropriate time to review the latest entry in the Sam Adams seasonal lineup. I’ve always been a little wary of Sam and his “micro” brew. I figure that any brewery with a distribution that large has to tame down the flavor to make it appeal to a mass audience. Which is true, but I think in this case it may actually be to Sammie’s benefit. Often, “Octoberfest” labeled beer has a funny tang to it that’s just hard to get into. But this time around, Sam Adams has tamed the flavor down enough to make it great easy drinking beer. As long as you don’t mind only drinking it 2 months out of the year.

Oh, and apparently in Texas, this is “Ale”, not “Lager” … cause Texas is weird.
