It's Halloween! You know what that means...beer! Ok, it really means candy...but beer is man's favorite candy. And who better to turn to than Dogfish Head...pumpkin ale!
This beer poured a nice amber color with an orange hint that reminded me and Fonnie of pumpkins. It was pretty transparent and had a nice head that collapsed to a fizzy film. It smelled of...SURPRISE!...pumpkins. It also had a nice little spice from the nutmeg and auxiliary spices in the beer. It was also slightly sweet from the brown sugar in the brew. It had a very classis lager taste with a pumpkin aftertaste that lingered quite nicely for a while. It also had a slight tinge of spicy and sweet. The texture was very fizzy - it had nice carbonation to it. It was rather smooth and easily downable. It had a very nice flow of flavors from lager, to all the subingredients, to the pumpkin.
Overall, this was a great beer to enjoy in the fall with your pumpkin or apple pie at dinner. Dogfish Head continues to never disappoint me.
