Buffalo Bills Pumpkin Ale

Brewed by Buffalo Bills Brewery
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Hayward, California USA

Orang/amber with a quickly disappearing head. Aroma of pumpkin and spices, primarily nutmeg. Flavors are more of the same. Light bodied. Interesting, but not my favorite style.

Overall, this beer smelled of pumpkin, but really tasted watery. I was expecting more of a pumpkin taste.

Bottle. Poured orange color with a medium fizzy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Moderate nutmeg pumpkin aroma. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet short finish.

Smell and taste of pumkin pie without the sweetness, thank goodness. Too much spice and clove form me. A style I appear not to like but this may be good example.

Orangeish amber body with a fizzy, quickly dissipating head. Aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and other autumn-ey spices. Flavor lives up to the name, with notes of pumpkin pie and roasted pumpkin seeds, along with more nutmeg and cinnamon. Palate is a bit thin. Pretty good pumpkin beer.

Bottle (12oz). Slightly hazy amber-orange, average quick-diminishing white head. Aroma is definitely pumpkin-y, lots of nutmeg, clove and other pungent fall spices, but there’s just enough of a hint of a tang that shouldn’t be there to knock it down a bit, sort of jagged and papery - but the bottle could b a bit past it, it was purchased in July. The taste is very vegetal, pumpkins dragged through the cowbarn - uh, not all that nice. Weakish body, nicely carbonted, slightly unpleasant vegetable aftertaste.

bottle - Pours dark amber with a moderate head. It has a pronounced spice aroma. The flavor has the pumpkin notes as expected, along with lots of spices. This is a really spicey beer. It’s good that way though. It’s a little thin, maybe slightly out of balance, but still good.

Pours a dark amber color with a nice white head. The aromas come out as pumpkin pie, from a can. Fake pumpkin pie aroma, it’s nearly identical. Flavors and mouthfeel are rather light compared to the aroma. A light pumpkin ale flavor dominates but the cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg come lightly through.
