From the label

“When the X Ambassadors dropped in for a beer before one of their shows, we were stoked. They're international rock stars! Yet they're grounded, humble dudes who support the local communities that serve them. So, while kicking it over a cold one we wondered if there was a way to capture this spirit together in a beer. There was, and that beer is Magic Hat X, an American Pale Ale that exemplifies the X Ambassadors' music and persona. Magic Hat X features lemon and melon hop notes that dominate over a light resinous character and smooth finish. It's crushable anywhere, whether you've got floor seats at a show, a blanket laid out at a festival or just kicking your feet up while spinning vinyl. Cheers to you and stay humble.”
