Fall beer review

I don't know about you, but I sure do love finding new brews, especially during the fall when the light is slowly weaning away from the day and the air is cool and crisp. Call me an alcoholic but those evenings are made for beer. My last trip to the store was a whopping 60 bucks of IPAs, black ales, and October brews.

And so here you have it folks, my fall beer review:



Estate Homegrown Wet Hop Ale
Brewed By: Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., California
Style: American IPA
ABV: 6.70%
Limited availability, only when brewed.
Notes: Refreshing wet hop beer. Not overwhelmingly hoppy. Love Sierra Nevada and their selection. Delicious, easy drinking ale.



Pumking
Brewed By: Southern Tier Brewing Company, New York
Style: Pumpkin Ale
ABV: 8.60%
Available Fall Only.
Notes: Contains flavors and notes (aka. smells) of pumpkin, cinnamon, gingerbread, vanilla, caramel, and nutmeg. Comes in a 22. It was too sweet for my taste, despite being one of the better pumpkin beers I've had. Even had to pour out the last bit. Cool label with fun little Celtic folklore story.



Dubhe Imperial Black IPA
Brewed By: Uinta Brewing Company, Utah
Style: American Black Ale
ABV:9.2%
Available Year round.
Notes: Chocolaty dark malts combine with hops. Leans more to hoppy IPA side than chocolate. Very Smooth. Easy to drink considering the color and ABV.

More to come . . .
