Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

My first impression was "Wow". It has more spice than I was expecting after having other Pumpkin ales. Beautiful color, short head. Tastes of pumpkin and brown sugar.

Clear, brown body with a decent off-white head. Good lacing develops as the beer is drank. Fantastic aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon, brown sugar, and nutmeg (as advertised!). Medium palate, which is a bit thinner than I expected. There is more spice to the flavor than pumpkin. Nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon for sure. The finish is clean, but a bit bitter. Very nice beer.

Pours a pale orange with absolutely no head. Aroma is of strong pumpkin and spices (as was expected). Taste is of nice pumpkin with nutmeg and allspice background. Body is quite thin. Would be better as a porter or stout.

Pours a clear orange brown color with a fluffy off-white head. Aroma is sweet and malty with some strong spices, much like smelling a fresh loaf of pumpkin ginger spice bread. Flavor starts malty and sweet with some caramel and toffee notes Quickly turns to ginger and cinnamon spices before coming to a strong bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. I really liked this pumpkin ale. It was well spiced and not overly sweet which is the fault of too many pumpkin ales. My only knock is that it was slightly too bitter in the finish.

Bottle. Bright amber-orange pour, clear with a big fluffy white head. Nose shows spices- cinnamon, allspice, brown sugar. Very pie-lilke. Flavor is well-rounded with subdued spice and a vaguely sweet pumpkin character. Spices show up more in the finish and as it warms but never become overwhelming. Clean, easy-drinking. Fulfills its promise and suits its purpose. Palate becomes slightly chalky as it warms, but it also picks up some malt depth.

Had a bottle of this recently. Pretty standard pumpkin ale in my mind. However I love pumpkin ales so that is a good thing, Tis the season for interesting beers

Is this a beer? Other than the beautiful appearance, there is nothing about this that resembles beer. Flavor is nutmeg, pumpkin, and cinnamon...good carbonation and nice mouthfeel but that’s about all that’s good when its in the mouth.

Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. light spice, light malt aroma. malt, spice, and light pumpkin flavor. medium body. Spice and malt linger. Not bad for a pumpkin beer.
