Give it a try.

Let's not be hard on Boston Brewing. Had it not been for them, we may all still be drinking Bud/Miller/Coors/PBR/Meister Chow. They changed the recipe from the original. I think 2001/2002 was the last good year when it was a little crisper, cleaner, less malty. I remember driving to Dewey Beach just around Labor Day 2001 with a whole case in my Jeep. I think the case was gone about an hour after our Bottle and Cork 10-miler. That was perhaps my last "good" memory of Sammy Oktoberfest. I got a sixer out of a sense of obligation.
