		<description><![CDATA[It's important to remember that this isn't your typical oktoberfest lager. It's an ale (amber ale) with oktoberfest style ingredients. Magic Hat is well known for making slightly odd-ball brews with flavors you normally wouldn't see in beers. Hex fits in very well to their lineup of strange brews. This "hybrid" oktoberfest or as they put it "Ourtoberfest" is a mild beer that tastes mostly like a Marzan with it's sweet flavors and buscuity maltiness. There is only a slight hint that this beer isn't a lager as the hops make the beer a little dryer than what you would normally see in an oktoberfest marzan style lager. The is also a special ingredient they fail to mention. I personally think it's some sort of melon but you will have to taste to determine for yourself. The flavors are quite mild making this is a worth session beer. I would have liked a little less carbonation, more flavor and a little more balance to the sweetness but overall it's a decent beer that I will certainly buy again. Cheers!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Starts off pretty mild and sweet with with flavors of vanilla, caramel malt and toasted sugar hitting the tongue first. Flavor starts to dry out with a hop bitterness that is spicy more than the floral. While the hops are certainly apparent but only make a dent in the malt-heavy backbone. Finish is somewhat dry with little to no aftertaste.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The malt sweetness comes through first creating a very smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Much like what you would expect from a Marzan. The malt gives way to the hops that give an gentle bitterness that gains some momentum towards the finish. The flavorful mixture of bready malts, bittersweet chocolate and citrus hops create a balanced and very tasty American style Oktoberfest beer.  Finish is dry and clean.]]></description>

Head lasts almost entire beer but lacing isn&#8217;t that great. Very good looking beer! Smell: Sweet malts with a little hops and grain added in for good measure. Smells a lot like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that time of year again people. That season where the weather is shifting towards winter and the smell of fireplaces are filling the crisp air. The time in which people gather together to sing,  drink beer and consume large quantities of sausages and pretzels. Yes people, I am talking about OKTOBERFEST! No other celebration [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Spaten is a very respected beer company which claims title to making the very first Oktoberfest beer. While I may not care for this beer I urge you to try it for yourself, it is a favorite of German's and Oktoberfest partiers world-over. Not my favorite Oktoberfest beer. While this is a good beer and is even better when served on tap...the bitterness is a little much.]]></description>
