Notes from 10/28/12
Punk'n (Harvest Pumpkin Ale), 12 fl oz "Ale brewed with pumpkin & spices." Oddly enough, the left side of the label says "3% organic ingredients." That said, I don't expect the green movement to recommend this on the merits of organic ingredients.
Pours brown amber with a fluffy, egg-white head. Damn near opaque for the color.
Pumpkin spices are pleasant in the nose and not over the top. Floral; toasted squash; dark bread; cinnamon and brown sugar.
Ghord/pumpkin taste hits the buds subtly (autumn vegetable hint). Not too spicy; pretty reserved, including the bittering hops.
Good choice if looking for a pumpkin beer beyond the mediocre, ubiquitous options.
Appearance: 4 Aroma: 4 Taste: 3.5 Feel: 3.5 Overall: 3.5 out of 5
