VERITAS observations of HESS J0632+057 from 21-29 November 2011 reveal an elevated gamma-ray flux level. A preliminary analysis of the 5.3-hour total exposure detects the source with a significance of more than 6 standard deviations. The estimated gamma-ray flux above 1 TeV is (6.7+-2.0)x10^-13 cm^-2 s^-1, corresponding to about 3% of the flux from the Crab Nebula above the same threshold.
