Some new beers!!!

Here are some new beers that I will be reviewing soon!!! Keep a look out!

Evolution Craft Brewing Co. - Jacques All Lantern

Arcadia Ales - Jaw-Jacker pumpkin spiced ale

DuClaw Brewing Co.  - Sweet Baby Jesus chocolate peanut butter porter

New Holland Brewing - Dragon's Milk bourbon barrel stout

Starr Hill Brewery - BoxCarr pumpkin porter

Cisco Brewers - Pumple Dunkel ale brewed with pumpkin and spice

Dogfish Head Punkin

Dogfish Head Brewery

Punkin Ale - A seasonal pumpkin brew

The color of this beer is a wonderful rich copper.  Has a nice burnt orange hue to it.

This beer has a wonderful aroma.  Nutmeg and cinnamon are paramount on the nose, with a hint of sugary sweetness.  

On the palate the spices are the first thing you will notice.  They dance and play on the tongue.  Cinnamon, all spice and nutmeg slightly linger as the presence of a  meaty pumpkin then take over.  The flavors of this beer are not overpowering but well balanced.  

All and all this a quality pumpkin ale.  It is a well crafted ale from a reliable brewery.  The bottle doesn't lie!  This beer is definitely worth stocking in the fridge for the fall season.     

Football season

Now that football season has started, don't forget to get a beer to go with whatever game you are watching.  Here's a fun little trick to help you expand your beer palate.  With every game you watch, try to have a different beer.  Don't sit there with a regular old 30 pack in your fridge.  Go out, and find a place that let's you make your own six packs and make one!  Don't over do it though, remember part of enjoying your beer is doing so in a responsible way. Half the fun of drinking good beer is remembering it, so you know what you had, how it tasted, so if you want it again you know what to get.  
Enjoy the season!!!  And if you play fantasy football, may no injuries effect your team!

Punk'n

Uinta Brewing Company

Punk'n Harvest Pumpkin Ale - Seasonal pumpkin ale

The color of this beer is a littler copper color.

The aroma of this beer gives off a mild roasted sense with a hint of honey, and seasonal spice.

On the palate this beer has a wonderful job of balancing the roasted pumpkin flavor with the spices.  The roasted pumpkin flavor is the first thing you notice, then you will get a little bit of that honey flavor.  The nutmeg and hop bitterness come together on the backend of the beer.  It's a beer that in between sips will play on your tongue and let you notice all the flavors.  

It's a very good seasonal brew. A little bit different than other pumpkin beers.  This organic ale might not be for everyone, but what beer is?  I know I enjoyed, and if you try it I hope you enjoy is as well.

Ichabod Ale

New Holland Brewery

Ichabod Ale - Seasonal pumpkin ale

The color of this brew is an awesome copper that this picture doesn't do justice too.

The aroma of this pumpkin beer is subtle but filled with cinnamon and nutmeg.  The smell is sneaky an makes you wonder if this beer has enough flavor, but don't worry Ichabod delivers.

On the palate Ichabod has a nice cinnamon and nutmeg hit on the front end, it is then followed by a more roasted pumpkin flavor.  It's a nice change of pace, considering a lot of pumpkin beers go for the more pumpkin pie taste than actual pumpkin itself.  Lastly on the very backend of the beer there is a little bit of bitterness that creates a nice overall balance.

This is a quality pumpkin beer, definitely worth a try.

The bottle art is pretty cool too.

It's Pumpkin Season!!!

It's pumpkin beer season!!!  Here are a few types that I bought this season.

Uinta - Punk'n Harvest Pumpkin Ale

River Horse - Hipp-o-lantern Imperial Pumpkin Ale

Dogfish Head - Punkin Ale

New Holland - Ichabod Pumpkin Ale

Reviews coming soon!!!

Red & White

Dogfish Head Brewery

Red & White - Witbeir aged in Pinot Noir barrels

The color is a nice copper color, with a hint of red

The aroma of this brew gives off a balance of coriander and orange.  A classic smell for witbeirs, but this one has a little more to it.  

On the palate the spice and fruit of this beer balance out very nicely.  There is a hint of wine flavor and a nice kick of alcohol, which makes sense since this beer is 10% abv.

Overall I was very impressed with this beer and found it very enjoyable to drink.  If you see it, you should get it and try it.
