One of the newer (this is its second season) and best seasonal beers available for the months of August, September and October from New Belgium is Hoptober. Made with five hops and four malts, Hoptober is a cornucopia of the earth. The pale and wheat malts are mashed with rye and oats to create a medium bodied ale with a creamy mouth feel accompanied with citrus notes.
Hops:
Centennial
Cascade
Sterling
Willamette
Glagier
It is 6% alcohol by volume and has 120 calories.
Lastly, To quote the interwebs and the Beer Advocate “The five hops used in Hoptober provide just enough bitterness to cut the buttery, meaty flavors of Italian fennel salami, Taleggio cheese and sourdough bread”
