Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

Poured a clear copper amber color with a nice creamy light tan head. The head went down slowly to about 1/2 inch and left some decent lacing. The aroma was very nice with hints of nutmeg, cinnamon and gingerbread. The aromas were stronger than the flavors. The taste was slightly dry and a bit spicy. The mild flavor of cloves and the aroma spices were detected with a bit of a sweetness. A nice pumpkin beer, easy to drink.

12oz bottle. pours a clear orange amber with a quickly diminishing head, aromas...wow..pretty much what the label describes.. cinnamn, nutmeg, punkin, and brown sugar. Flavors arent quite as refined but still nice, mostly pumpkin and cinnamon and nutmeg. long lasting finish.... pumpkin pie in a bottle!

Aroma is spicy; nutmeg, pumpkin, cloves, and . . . yellow mustard? Strange, but not bad really. Pours a clear, light copper color with a white head the diminishes quickly. Taste is sweet and spicy with cinnamon, cloves and pumpkin. Little bitternes. Smooth mouthfeel and very enjoyable, very drinkable. Probably my favorite pumpkin ale.

Splendida ale alla zucca (!) bevuta allo stand americano del Salone del Gusto; preferisco una birra meno sborona della solita super hop ipa amarillo brillo e ben concentrata su una piacevolezza che non trascura la zupposità di cui un uomo può sentire il bisogno quando ha un sogno.

Pumpkin pie in a bottle. Subtle aroma of pumpkin and spices. A little sweet, but offset somewhat with some bitterness. Not too bad, better than other pumpkin beers I’ve tried.

Wow nicely spiced, cinnamon, pumpkin pie, sugary, cloved. Good spiced beer for the season, more character than the typical seasonal. A little too sweet after a few though, a little cloying.

Thanks to my wife for letting me have a couple sips to review her beer. Pours a clear copper color with a standard white head. Smells a strong chunky pumpkin flavor with the spices (nutmeg, allspice, clove, etc) taking a back seat. There’s almost a baked bread smell, like a pie crust, too. The taste is more of a strong brown ale, with spices, than a sweet pumpkin beer. It’s actually pretty good because all of those spices take a back seat.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber with a small off white head. Aroma of SPICE and some pumpkin. Flavor of SPICE and some pumpkin. The pumpkin flavor is very well done on this beer, but the spice level is way too high. Good beer, that could have been great.
