    This is way better than Sammy Okto.

    I'm guessing, based on reviews, it's way different too. I've heard from reliable sources that the SN is more traditional than most any other Ami-Okto out there (Sam Adams leaning a bit to the sweet, almost Brown Ale profile). Traditional often being a difficult term to embrace around here, but when a reputable brewery like SN follows that path you have to take notice.

    Yep, SA's is way too caramelly sweet for my taste. SN's is a tad toasty, maybe reminds me a little of Hacker Pschorr?

    Very much looking forward to this. Haven't seen any at my usual spots, but I'm patient.

    I picked up a sixer yesterday and am looking forward to trying a few tonight. And apparently I need to find the fall pack now. Gotta get that Vienna Lager (and other very good beers).

    Wish my store had sixers, rather than just 12s -- hope those show up soon.

    I'd take my chance on a 12... if I ever see a chance. :slight_frown: :wink:

    Just grabbed this at the local Safeway. Wow, really great! It tastes like autumn. One of my first beer loves was Ayinger Oktoberfest and this fits right in.

    Grab this, drink while watching CFB, repeat, repeat, repeat
