Pugsley’s Signature Series
1pt 6oz bottle
$10.00 per bottle

Ten bucks for a one pint bottle! This pumpkin better be damn
good.
Appearance: dirt pumpkin colored body with a thin off white
head
Aroma: nice little touch of pumpkin with some allspice
and/or nutmeg. Not that big of a
bouquet. Halfway through the bottle
there is a little cinnamon on the nose.
Flavors: thin on the tip of the tongue (watery), the flavors
explode on the mid palate with pumpkin, nutmeg, toasted malts, little grassy
feel from the hops. Ohhhh, it is
starting to open up. This is tasty.
Mouthfeel: alcohol on the finish, thin fizzy feel from the
carbonation, seems thin on the delivery (front of the mouth), flavors hit on
mid and finish, once the ale warms up the flavors are ready to play ball.
To the Point: seemed a little uninteresting at first (just
out of the fridge) the flavors really opened up after about 10 minutes or
so. The spice (nutmeg/allspice) is not
overpowering. I did not grow tired of
the spice profile like I have on some other pumpkin ales. This ale also has a little pumpkin taste and
the hops are doing their job keeping the balance. But, the alcohol … oh, yes the alcohol … I
can feel it already and I am halfway through the bottle.
