Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Anderson Valley Brewing Company
Fall Hornin' Pumpkin Ale. I figured it would be fitting to finish my
October/Halloween seasonal review string here at 10:31 pm on 10/30/13 with a beer
from one of my favorite breweries.
From the Anderson Valley Brewing Company website: “With a
brilliant, deep copper hue and creamy beige-colored head, our Fall Hornin’
Pumpkin Ale has inviting aromas of caramelized malt and baking bread with
highlights of cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin and seasonal spices. The pleasantly
creamy mouthfeel and silky body embrace the sweet caramel flavors and tang of
spices (with just hint of hops) that ends in a smooth, round finish.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
chestnut brown with a large cream colored head and great lacing.
Aroma: Pumpkin, cinnamon,
nutmeg, clove, allspice, brown sugar and caramel malts.
Taste: Cinnamon
and nutmeg take the lead with caramel malt, pumpkin, allspice and clove mixed
in for good measure.
Overall: Balanced
and super drinkable, Anderson Valley Brewing Company Fall Hornin' Pumpkin Ale
is tasty. At 6% ABV I’d put this on the
list of “must try” Pumpkin Ales. I’m
glad I picked up a six pack of this one!
Cheers!
