Pumpkin Ale
Selin's Grove Brewing Company

On tap at the brewpub this lunchtime.

Nice look, coppery orange body, small white head, light lacing. Pumpkin and spice aroma, which follows in the taste. Nice to have actual pumpkin in the beer. The only knock is that the finish is a little on the bitter spice side. Overall, a nice low abv pumpkin beer.

 

 

 

 

 

Worth the hype and my personal multi year wait to try this... Takes the best aspect of many of my other pumpkin beers and melds them into an awesome experience...

 

 

 

Deep gold in color, a bit cloudy, with about 1 inch of head.

Smell is a muted spices with pumpkin and vanilla most notable. As it warms, some cinnamon and nutmeg come out.

Taste is pretty on point. Malt, breadiness, pumpkin, vanilla, spices on the palate.

Mouthful is medium and smooth & creamy. Carbonation is moderate.

Super balanced and easily drank. Pumpkin at the forefront with spices in the background. One of the best pumpkin beers out there.

This beer deserves its reputation as one of the best pumpkin ales available. Enjoyed on nitro at the brewpub. Amazingly creamy mouthfeel, almost like pumpkin pie. The spices are present but not at all overwhelming. My favorite pumpkin beer to date.

Of course, the only problem with this beer is that it's only available at the brewpub since it's nitro...but luckily they had it around this late in the year for my wife and I to enjoy on our drive to her parents' place for Thanksgiving.

 

Not a huge fan of pumpkin beers, but this is phenomenal. On nitro at the pub. Even with a solid line-up during my visit, I wanted to keep drinking this one.

 

 

 

 

 

Pumpkin isn't my type but this one I can stand. Still only 1 at most.
