yes, i agree. i remember it tasting a bit more like pumpkin pie.

dude! I love this beer, we used to slug these halloween nights when we were younger, i picked a 6 last night, so fucking good guy.

i think it tastes a little different this year too. shipyard pumpkin (and any other pumpkin, such as watch city and boston beer works pumpkin) is my beer of choice this fall. i'll be sad when pumpkin beer goes away.

:rinking sam adams octoberfest as we speak::

good man

sam adams is the greatest type of beers in america
october fest is the best of the best

sam adams is basically all i drink.

the only time i dont drink it is when my friends suck and buy busch light. than i just go home

octoberfest beer is my favorite thing about fall. i like it even more than football.

sam adams is the only beer i drink too when i spend my money on booze
i don't care about any other beer except that beatiful beer

yeah it tastes way different. last year it was so much better. i am dissapointed but i will still drink it.

spaten octoberfest is really good though.

that's probably sammys best seasonal brew

i try not to drink em too much though...i hate getting a taste for beer that is'nt available year round.....i usually stick to honey browns, skullsplitter, gulden drak, chimay, guinness, and regular sam adams

The recipe for most seasonal beers changes every year. Look For red hooks nut brown in about a month it's always good.

im a fan of red hooks blonde too

pretty damn good

i drank a few tall glasses of sammy octoberfest last night at the skellig in waltham. very tasty
