Unlike the UFO, however, the roasted malts are most prevalent, followed by the spices and a subtle, but good, pumpkin profile, plus some hop bitterness.

With a clear, dark amber color and nice head, it’s very appealing visually and the nose is full of pumpkin and spices. Post Road, which is produced by Brooklyn Brewery, one of my favorite breweries, is the antithesis of the previously mentioned beer. Still, it’s overall very satisfying and one that the standard pumpkin beer fan should definitely reach for. It’s mildly spiced, but a little on the sweet side, so probably not a beer one could drink too many of before feeling either full or like they’re developing a cavity. The hazy orange coloring gives it the look and the nose of the beer that promises a pretty substantial wallop of pumpkin flavor and the taste doesn’t disappoint. Harpoon’s UFO line – which stands for UnFiltered Offering – has its supporters and its detractors and I tend to fall in the latter category, but the Pumpkin Ale has me rethinking this a bit. I think this time around, there’s something for everyone. Of course, this year she was really put to the test as the Springfield Public Schools 2013-2014 calendar started in August, but she held out and for that I am extremely proud.īut now that the season is really upon us, I have during the past couple of weeks been able to sample a few pumpkin beer selections – one 12-ounce bottle of each from The Beer Shop in East Longmeadow – and am excited to share them with you. Usually this is easy enough because my wife, a teacher, has a rule that she will not pick one up until the school year begins. By Chris principle, I have held out on writing about pumpkin beers, Octoberfests and anything else fall until now.įor me, the fact that fall seasonal offerings are becoming available in mid-August just offends my sensibilities and therefore I refuse to acknowledge them until the calendar flips to September.
