Pumpkin Ale
Alewerks Brewing Company

 

 

Look: Kind of pumpkin-colored, really. Very appealing. Not a crazy amount of head but I may have poured wrong?

Smell: Spices, very pleasant.

Taste: The fall spices are pretty prominent. Not really a true "pumpkin" flavor so much as the cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar flavors. Not very bitter.

Feel: The spices and effervescence kind of give it a "crisp" feel to me.

Overall: Love this beer, definitely worth buying a 6 pack every fall! I'd enjoy trying to brew a beer like this sometime.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle with a bottled on date of 7/31/2024 into a shaker pint glass.
L - Pours a dark copper color with a smaller sized white head that dissipates quickly, leaving some lacing on the glass.
S - Smells of pumpkin pie spices.
T - Taste follows the smell, lots of pumpkin pie spice, but it’s not overwhelming or sweet.
F - Medium body and carbonation.
O - One of the better pumpkin beers that I have tried.

Hazy orange color with a nice head and lace.
Aroma of fresh pumpkin spices and bready malts.
The taste was sweet, pumpkin spices, and malts.
The beer was good, but it does contain lactose which in turn allows the beer a smoother, creamier body.
I just think the beer is too sweet, good, but really sweet.
If they dialed back the sugar & lactose maybe I would rate higher.

 

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a burnt orange color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of pumpkin, light spices. Taste is spices up front, cinnamon in particular, pumpkin is in the background. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

 

best ever pumkin!!!!!!!!

Alewerks fall classic! This beer will make you slap your grandma! It’s pumpkin pie in a bottle. Sweeter than typical ales, but so smooth. Looks a darker amber colored and smells just like it tastes.

L: Darkish orange, frothy light tan head, noticeable sediment.
S: Sweet pumpkin & spice (clove, nutmeg) dominate
T: Toasted malts, brown sugar, and of course pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Finishes with a bit of astringent bitterness, I'm guessing from the spice.
F: Medium to heavy body, moderate carbonation, kinda syrupy

Overall pretty solid, tasty, and easy drinking. Just a bit syrupy and sweet to have often or in multiples for my taste.

 

 

 

2022 is rubbish. Flat coke with pumpkin syrup?!

Smells very sweet with hints of spice and of course pumpkin. Taste is a very sweet pumpkin with mediocre spice notes. It’s smooth but a bit syrupy. Too sweet with a mediocre finish laced with spice. More candy and brown sugar than an ale. It’s okay. One and done.

Should not be ranked this high. Go get Southern Tier Pumking or Schlafly. No way Top 10. Lazy.

Gorgeous dark orange amber ale. Minimal lacing which dissipates within a few mins. Medium carbonation. Pumpkin bread on the nose. Taste of sweet pumpkin with strong nutmeg and spice notes....essentially tastes like a heavily spiced pumpkin pie. Great feel and goes down very smoothly. Tricky one with the ABV being on the higher side which is not apparent. It’s not a beer I’d buy a six pack of...but solid as a one-off seasonal as Fall sets in. Personally, I would’ve preferred the spice levels to be dialed down a bit.
