Alandale Pumpkin Ale

I must be changing, I no longer hate pumpkin ales. This one is light clear orange. The aroma is dominated by spices mainly cinnamon and cloves. There is obvious pumpkin, but it is underlying. Medium / light body with light carbonation. More veggie on the taste than aroma with the spices going more to the background. The finish has a bit of staleness and is slightly sour and metallic. Overall this is an adequate pumpkin beer.

tap at brewpub-pours golden yellow with a fizzy off-white head. light pumpkin nose with nose of spice. lots of cinnamon on the flavors which mask the other flavors usually found in this beer. i like the allspice flavor here-it goes long into the finish. pretty good but definately not exciting.
