Hallowe'en Special II : Pumpkin Ale (Smuttynose)
I received this as a gift from a friend over from New York, and what better time to try it.
Pours with a floral, almost spicy smell, with obvious pumpkin and similar sweet potato leanings.
The opening taste has almost no sweetness, and almost no bitterness, like a first half 0-0 draw. What comes out for the 2nd half is a deep pumpkin flavour, like a roasted butternut squash soup, mixing savoury with sweetness. It finishes with a landslide of bitterness which lingers on leaving a dry peppery taste.
4/10 Its a speciality beer for sure, its well made, but too soupy and savoury for me.
