Pumpkin Ale with Spices
Foothills Brewing Company - Downtown Brewpub

Poured a seethru copper-tinted orange body with decent head that quickly died. Beer has classic sweet pumpkin spice along with spiciness like cinnamon. Light body, easy to drink, not much flavor but not bad, has a spicy dryness on the edge along with some minimal pumpkin sweetness (not like pumpkin pie).

 

 

 

 

12 oz bottle with a 9-9-2020 bottling date stamp on the neck.
Pours with a clear copper colored body with a good white head.
Aroma. Quite spicy with a particularly clear note of cinnamon.
Flavor. Despite the aroma and expectations derived from a good number of over spiced pumpkin ales from other breweries, this has the flavor of a pleasantly spiced brown/amber ale with excellent harmony for the style.
Good, moderately spicy aftertaste.

Look: It pours amber and clear with an off white head. Head retention is very good.

Smell: It has aromas of allspice and cinnamon with low ginger and very low pumpkin.

Taste: The flavors feature cinnamon and allspice with ginger and pumpkin. There is a low caramel in the background.

Feel: It has a medium body.

Overall, a fairly good pumpkin spiced beer.

 

Copper colored with faint amount of fine sediment suspended within the body. There’s a fingernail of light beige to dark white around the rim and covering most of the top. The aroma is of pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and cinnamon. I’m tasting an aggressive amount of spices as I’ve reviewed many pumpkin beers. I’m tasting lots of clove, some nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and pumpkin pie spice. The mouth is moderately carbonated and busy with heavy spicing.

 

12oz bottle, wine glass, no freshness dating (come on!).

The color is a gorgeous pumpkin copper and the head begins as a plump finger or more of tawny head.

Crisp malt followed by spiced apple cider. The more you smell the sweeter it gets, almost cotton candy in the background.

Dry indeed! This is bone dry with an earthy, herbal finish. The flavor is unsweetened pumpkin and some crust-like malt. The overall effect is crisp.

Thin, medium-low carbonation, and a surprisingly clean finish.

This is a take on pumpkin beer that I’ve never encountered. It’s dry instead of very sweet and spiced judiciously.

 

 

Really enjoyed the 2018 version. Best pumpkin I've had this season. Perfect amount of pumpkin to taste it but where it still tastes like beer. Not too sweet. Good carbonation level.
