3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Someone did it! After my having some pretty bad interpretations of the pumpkin beer, this one is really tasty. Clear bronze color. Gentle pumpkin aroma, also showing hints of the pie spices. In the flavor, there is some fruitiness up front, then the pumpkin flavor comes in mid-finish, with a dry hop grassy bitterness taking over the late finish. Nicely balanced and interesting. Well done. On tap at West Des Moines, IA, location.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft ad the Seattle location. Clear light orange with a slightl but lacy white head. Tending to a medium body with subdued carbonation. The taste and aroma are basically pumpkin pie in a glass. The hops make a minor appearance in the othewise spicy dry finish. This brew is pretty decent, but it’s a good thing that Halloween is just around the corner - I’m at my limit for pumpkin beers.
