New Belgium Brewing
Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
6% abv
Ale Brewed with Pumpkin Juice, Cranberry Juice and spices
Fall Seasonal
Appearance: shiny copper with an orange-ish tint;
half-finger off-white head that did not stay around long
Aroma: hint of pumpkin pie; nice spice, cinnamon and a pinch
of nutmeg; I’m searching for the cranberry note – maybe my bloodhound wife can
pick it up
Flavors and Mouthfeel: I pick up the tart cranberry on the
palate; pumpkin pie like with nice allspice; flavors seem a little muddled; light
carbonation; lightly dry;
To the Point: this is okay to good; might be a good introductory
Pumpkin Ale; I’ll take the Post Road Pumpkin Ale over this one; but, I am not a
big fan of Pumpkin Ales in the first place; if I was going to give this a grade
I would give it a C+/B-
