Continuing our path of fall gourd ales that aren't just “pumpkin pie spice mix” darker beers, we turn again to cuisine for spur. Here we deconstruct a “Zucca Ravioli” served in brown butter and sage topped with grated biscotti. Roasted butternut squash meat with butter added to the mash of a rich ale, fermented on anise cookies from our cohorts at The Flaky Tart and dry hopped with sage from our neighbors The Homestead at 7 Arrows. An autumn plate from the hills of Northern Italy interpreted as a Jersey harvest time ale. Drink Rav because there are always more spices on that shelf.

A: A nice amber with a yellow tint with some good transparency, a tiny off white head at the top that left a little lacing around the glass.
S: Some butternut squash, spme slight sage coming through as well, on the tail end I get the sweetness from the cookie.
T: Up front a little stiffer than what I expected, the sweetness is throughout, and a nice spice on the tail end as well.
M: Light bodied, and a good amount of carbonation.
O: Overall a pretty tasty beer, refreshing and enjoyable, I am glad I was able to try this brew at a tasting in NJ.

DATE: November 12, 2021... OCCASION: warming up after another WMC playoff win... GLASSWARE: frames out like a centerpiece, with a thick, two-fingered cream-filled head that rests atop a clear, lively copper body... toffee, biscotti, sage, brown sugar, garden herb, and fennel... a strange, not-altogether-allurong aroma that approximates an herbal bread... lively and buzzing at the teeth, with warmth at the throat... medium-bodied, lingering and sippable... the explanation of Carton's approach helps steer the tastebuds, as the mashup has some saison seasoning while it has a surprising maltiness that sweetens the experience... sage, fennel, and earthy vegetable make the profile enjoyable, if not quizzical... it doesn't quite follow all the way on its flavor profile, but I like its understated impact even as its ABV is a healthy 8%... Carton, keep them coming!

From 11/26/14 notes. On tap at the brewery in NJ.
Pours a hazy bright orange color with no head or carbonation evident. Lots of spices, sage, pepper, cinnamon, pumpkin, vegetables, and some cream. Medium body and low carbonation.
Overall it had a little too much spice for me to keep it from being great, but it was good. Guess that is what they were going for but I'd perfer more of a pumpkin taste.
