Magic Hat Hex Ourtoberfest (Staff photo / Alan Shaw)

 

Beer: Hex Ourtoberfest

Brewery: Magic Hat Brewing Co., Vermont

Notes: Fall seasonal has a nice aroma of caramel and biscuit. The aroma carries over to the taste. Nice malt notes of caramel with a bit of a hop bite at the end. Overall this is one of Magic Hat's better brews. They bill it as a sort-of oktoberfest, and I agree. It's worth checking out.

I really like Hex as well as a lot of Magic Hat's beers, but have yet to see it or a fall seasonal variety pack this year. Hex is a pretty good brew, and in true MH form its not quite your typical Oktoberfest style beer, but different and tasty!

Oops...never mind, just picked up a 6-er of Hex at my local ABC. I know I've seen a fall seasonal from them though in the past.

I meant a fall seasonal variety pack. Sorry, I didn't clarify.
