After sampling over 500 different beers over the years, I can easily say that fruit and vegetable beers are the hardest to perfect. Critics usually tear fruit and vegetable beers apart, but I can honestly say, when done right, I enjoy these beers quite often. My favorite beer of all vegetable/fruit beer is by far the pumpkin ale. It combines the best flavors and spices of the season. What says fall more than something made with pumpkin? To date my absolute favorite pumpkin beer is dogfish head punkin ale. There were a lot of good choices and many very unfavorable options out there, but let's see how my new experiences with pumpkin ales stack up with my old favorites.
Here are the pumpkin ales I tried for the first time this year:
Pumpkin ale - Buffalo Bills
Pumpkin UFO - Harpoon
Pumpkin Ale- Blue Point
Imperial Pumpkin Ale - Wayerbacher
Pumking - Southern Tier
Pumpkinhead - Ship yard
Pumpkin - Sea dog
smuttynose pumpkin ale
Pumple Drumpkin - Cisco Brewers
Post Road Pumpkin - Brooklyn
The top 2 choices for me were the pumpking from Southern Tier and the imperial pumpkin by wayerbacher. But the crown goes to the Pumpking. It literally tastes like liquid pumpkin pie, a simply delicious treat of a beer!
