This is the season for beer. The volume of light beer sold during the warmer times of year have spring and summer labeled as beer season. As a lover of crafts, this is very sad fact.
The arrival of Pumpkin beers marks the beginning of flavorful fall seasonals, octoberfests, and darker hearty beers. Every brewery has their own rendition of these autumn favorites. This one by local Williamsburg brewery is definately very complex in flavor. This amber colored ale is loaded with pumpkin flavors for the tongue and nose. at 7.3% ABV, This beer will sneak up on you.
Personally I like a Pumpkin beer with more subtle flavors. This one really smacks you in the face with seasoning. It taste more like a gourmet pie than a pumpkin. I like to support local breweries and this is only one of the seasonal selections available from nearby, Williamsburg.
Stay tuned for more seasonal observations. We have an Octoberfest sampling scheduled for October 6th!
