Beer 3 - Buffalo Bills Pumpkin Ale


Style: Pumpkin Ale
Purchased at: Vintage Cellar
What makes this beer different: Cool crisp fall taste of pumpkin!
Will I be drinking this again: Yes
Grade: B-

Comments:
Let me say first that I truly appreciate a good quality pumpkin ale; and this beer is one of the better ones I have had. Most brews in this category are just so-so, but this one caught my attention. Mouthfeel is thin body, crisp high carbonation. It is a much lighter brew than others, but the aroma it gives off is quite wonderful. That being said, the spices are a little too strong and could possibly muddle the taste for some.

This beer is good, but not what the smell would suggest nor what I had hoped for. Bottom line is if you like pumpkin beers, this is one of the better ones ... but it isn't perfect. If you don't like pumpkin beers ... well then you are silly for reading this analysis and need to look for another beer to fit your style!

Recommendations:
Combine this beer with a good spinach or crab dip, and sit back and enjoy!

Grade: B+ Recommendations: Just like its big brother, the black lager, this pale ale is a winner! Smooth & crisp tones accent this hoppy ale. McSorley's Pale Ale is a mix between an English Ale and an Irish Red Ale. Word to the wise: You will find this brew quite drinkable, so don't lose track of how many you put back!

Beer #27 - Stone/BrewDog Bashah

Style: American Strong Ale Purchased at: Once Upon A Vine What makes this beer different: Nice Dark IPA Will I be drinking this again: Most Definitely Grade: A- Comments: This is an excellent beer! One of the best I have ever had. To me it seems like 65% strong IPA mixed with 35% Porter; a masterful combination in my book. Pours a deep dark brown with a hefty head on the brew and some lacing. Recommendations: Try this baby out in a tulip glass ... it is definitely a sipper beer, so enjoy each and every last sip with a baguette and a little asiago cheese!
