Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer (21A)
Notes
A Christmas 2011 submission to my local homebrew club exchange, I'll let the feedback speak for itself...
"Nice head. Dark brown colour. good mix of spice and pumpkin aroma. Overall its a very fin balance of malts, pumpkin and spices. So far this is the best pumpkin ale I have tried. Well done."
"Nice subtle pumpkin aroma, nice spice profile with the nice moderate pumpkin flavour. Less body than expected, so pumpkin was really nice, but a bit light on malty supporting flavours. Really tasty pumpkin pie beer! Light body actually makes it easy drinkin'. Nice fruity flavour, in the good way. Actually, being such a light body, this is a pumpkin beer I could sit down and drink a few."
"Very nice inviting aroma. Nice carbonation, just enough. Velvety mouth feel which I enjoyed very much. Low spice blend flavor BUT goes really well with the style, actually I love your spice tone, subtle but all there. No aftertaste and no off flavor detected. Low head retention but doesnt affect the quality of the beer. Great beer very nice job Craig! That's a keeper! DELICIOUS!"
