Year of New Beer: Pumpkin Ale, Smuttynose Brewing (NH)

Written By: Dion on 11/14/2013

Lots of nutmeg & cinnamon on the nose, with maybe a hint of earthy hops. Much the same on the tongue as the pumpkin pie spices start out with a touch of sweetness, gradually drying to a spicier note, with a solid hop bitterness. I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin beers, but I prefer ones such as this that favor spice over sweetness. Nice beer.
