Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

12oz bottle, pours a slightly unappealing clear orange-brown but with a nice bubbly cap of off-white head. Smells strongly of brown sugar and cinnamon, caramel malt and pumpkin (in a sort of understated way). Flavor is quite different, with the allspice dominating and making this feel more like a "spice" beer instead of being specifically a pumpkin brew. Much thicker than a lot of other pumpkins, but it’s a nice change of pace.

( 12oz bottle) pours a beautiful orange, lively carb and nice frothy head that continually recarbs itself. Nose of alcohol, brown sugar, toasted malt and holiday spices. Taste of toasted malt, pumpkin, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a bit of warming alcohol. Finishes toasty with a creamy soft carbonation. This is what a pumpkin beer should be! A nice example.

apricot color, no head, lacy. nose of sweet malt, spice, and of course, pumpkin. mouth of creamy pumpkin flavor, nutmeg, other spices. creamyy mouth feel, medium bodied, lightly bitter hop finish. a pretty good spice/veggie beer, a style for which i do not have much care.

Thick, rich pumpkin ale. Beautiful copper color and nice aroma. I find the cinnamon a bit too much in this one, but otherwise a fine ale.

Bottle. Poured transparent copper with a medium off-white effervescent head. Aroma was just like a malty pumkin pie; allspice, cloves, cinnamon, some nutmeg, notes of brown sugar, pumkin and slight hints of bubblegum. Flavor is mellow and creamy pumkin pie with aforementioned spices and with a hint of coffee as it warmed. Palate was creamy, slightly warming, and well balanced.

This is the best pumpkin ale I have had! The spices etc are not overwhelming, the pumpkin flavor is there,

Bottle. Clear amber collor with a very small off white head. Cinnamon, pumpkin and nutmeg aroma. Cinnamon, pumpkin and sweet dough flavors. Finishes with a nutmeg bitterness with a slight trace of alohol. Syrupy texture and lively carbonation. A good one to sip during the cool Fall months.

aroma is strong note of cinnamon and other intangible spice. appearance is burnt orange with very little carb, color seems very appropriate. flavor is caramel malt muddled with heavy spice and little else. palate is flat, dry and cold: in a way sessionable and in a way offensive. points for making 7% this undetectable.
