Website: Dogfish Head Pumpkin Ale
Smooth and sweet…no “pumpkin” flavor up front, well at least not the pumpkin flavor you would expect …this is a great mild “Bitter” type beer… Imagine New Castle but super fresh and kind of sweet with a mild spiciness and sweetness you just can’t place … it is very light on the hops, has a smooth sweet malt and you are left with a little spiciness on the tongue… actually the more i drink, the more i get it… the pumpkin flavor builds up as you drink this guy … they probably put fresh pumpkin in the wort versus a puree that would have a super strong pumpkin flavor…which would explain the hint of pumpkin flavor and the sweetness that is all pumpkin. The mouthfeel is nice and sweet and the spices create a nice after taste. The only thing that would slow me down from drinking these all night is the pumpkiny sweetness that is created by the fresh pumpkin…but all in all worth the buy!
