Rivertown Brewing Pumpkin Ale

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 6

Pours a darker amber color with small, off-white head and minimal lacing. The aroma is bready with caramel malt, there's a hint of allspice and cinnamon, but it's very faint. The taste is actually a pumpkin pie blend of spices. Cinnamon and nutmeg are prominent with a touch of clove. Taste is a little metallic at the end. And the spices fade quickly. The mouthfeel is pretty big carbonation, but overall, fairly crisp. Note I can't stand anything pumpkin, I try to keep this out of review and rating.

A very typical seasonal pumpkin in that its very pumpkin and spice forward. A little sweet and a little sour as well. A good one to have one of but it was a bit heavy on the cinnamon toward the end. Thanks for the brew Cory!

Mottled amber brown pour with a diminishing head and little lacing. More froth would have been a good thing. Medium bodied, creamy and spicy. Toffee and doughnut followed by warming bakers spices and pumpkin pie. Good pumpkin beer, and fairly traditional in it's approach.

Sixer from fresh stack at Belmont Party Supply. Lightly hazed orangey light brown pour, minimal head and lacing. Funky near soured aroma of old spices and some veggies, some barnyard... is this a spiced beer, a pumpkin beer, an infected beer, a saison? It's supposed to be a pumpkin spiced beer but might be slightly infected. Anyway... some brown sugar and requisite pumpkin pie spice rise above the unpleasantness of the initial aromas. Let it warm a bit. Still a little funky but more spice and "regular" pumpkin beer flavor, but still a let down. Like I said, it may be infected. Won't know until I try one next year...
