For Christmas, I got quite the selection of homebrews from Ingrid that her good friend Nate made. Out of the 6 that I was gifted with,this is the first review. The Harvest Pumkin Ale.
I'm a fan of Pumkin Ales. I think out of the several that I've tried, this one rates pretty close to the Pumkinhead,which is my favorite. It poured a dark amber and the head had a very good staying power, it had travelled roughly, but I opened it days after. The smell is of pumkin and alcohol. Not a "whiskey" smell,but you can definelty tell it has a fairly good abv %. The taste of pumkin is mild,unlike the Pumkinhead. Something that I sometimes consider a negative due to the fact I drink it too quickly. This was not the case with the Harvest Pumpkin. I was able to sit back and nurse it for quite a while. Thankfully I have one more left,it will probably make a great Christmas day present to myself after the McNeil's.
Thanks Nate for knowing what the hell your doing in producing a damn good beer.
