Wachusett Brewing Co. Octoberfest Ale
5.2%

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a chilled pint glass.

Appearance
Clear orange-amber color with a fluffy bright white lacing on the glass. Small carbonation bubbles constantly floating to the top made this beer sparkle.

Aroma
Earthy and grainy. Smells of fall linger through the hops and remind me of a recently harvested grain or vegetable field.

Hood River, Or - A few unmistakable signs tell us when winter has arrived in Hood River. The waterfalls in the Gorge start kicking out the jams. The snow report for the backcountry regains its hold over us. And the Wassail starts flowing once again. And that means friends and family will surely be close behind.

“Historically, brewers craft small batches of darker beers, generously adding extra hops and malts to make exceptionally robust tasty ales to celebrate the season and as a way of sharing the bounty of the season with their customers. We carry on this tradition with Wassail. Choosing our ingredients for Wassail is like taking time to choose the perfect gift. Each year we carefully select the best hops and malts to brew this special beer.
