First of all, I wanted to preface my review by explaining my sound bite. Not that I'm an alcoholic but I chose to imbibe 2 or 3 days a week and when I do, I usually drink at least 6 beers. According to Wikipedia, binge drinking is, "For a typical adult, this pattern corresponds to consuming 5 or more drinks (male), or 4 or more drinks (female), in about 1-3 hours". My defense is that I weigh around 215 pounds, maintain above average cardiovascular fitness so therefore my tolarance and rate of alcohol oxidation puts my inebriation level at about 12 drinks in 3 hours. Have I mentioned I have kids???

Anyway, this review is actually for Sam Adams Octoberfest. The Boston Lager company makes upwards of 30 different types of beer and puts out special beers for all 4 seasons. As the fall nears and the weather begins to change, I always look forward to this beer release. If you only drink light beer and aren't into vibrant, hoppy flavors then Sam Adams isn't your cup of tea. Considering I pretty much love the whole Sam Adams lineup (except Cranberry Ale) Octoberfest is my favorite. It's absolutely delicious with it's medium body, sweet caramel flavor and beautiful copper-amb color. Enjoy on a cool fall day with a bowl of spicy Chili and an Eagles game.

 Exclaimer: Must drink at least 6 to fully enjoy
