Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Milton, Delaware USA

draft at city beer. dull amber pour w some beige head. aroma is pumpkin, spice and sweet bubblegum. flavor is the same, a little vegetal. sort of a lot of carbonation.

Hazy orange-amber with a thin white head. Aroma of pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon and brown sugar. Taste of brown sugar, nutmeg, allspice, nuts and pumpkin. Finishes spicy with some allspice in there. One of the better pumpkin beers I’ve tried, reminiscent of pumpkin more than most others.

Pours with an amber hue that sits below a white frothy head. Hue is clear. The aroma is of cinammon, pumpkin and lots of different spices. The flavor is spicy all the way through (allspice). Also the beer has a weird green tea flavor to it - dont know what this is. Light body, light carbonation. Not a bad beer, but just not my style.

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.
