Out of the pumpkin beers that are available here in the Big Easy this one is by far the best. I know, it isn't saying much when you consider just how many craft breweries are pumping out awesome pumpkin ales but until Abita brews a pumpkin ale it's what we got. Enough said, on to the review!
Brewery: Buffalo Bill's Brewery
Beer: Pumpkin Ale
Style: Pumpkin Ale
ABV: 4.90%
Recommended Glassware: Pint Glass
Serving Type: Pint Glass
Appearance- The beer poured a hazy orange amber with a huge off white head which dissipates quickly. Lacing was minimal to nonexistent.
Smell- A nice smell of pumpkin pie. Pumpkins, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Taste- The pumpkin and spices are very slight in the taste and are more noticeable in the aroma. The taste however comes off way too sweet for me and the finish is a bit unpleasant.
Mouthfeel- Thin and watery with a lot of carbonation
Overall- Not a horrible beer. I can taste the pumpkin more in this beer than the others I've tried. I would find it difficult to drink a lot of these since they are way too sweet.
