Buffalo Bills Pumpkin Ale

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

Orange/copper colored, with a lot of pumpkin spice and some pumpkin puree in the aroma. The taste was spicy, with some finishing pumpkiny elements. Medium to light palate.

Quite spiced,only faint pumpkin, but still pretty good. Nutmeg, cloves stand out, overall good.

A rather curious tasting ale that I picked up over the haloween season. Unfortunately its only worth is for kitschy purposes. It smelled and tasted mostly of nutmeg. That was good smell-wise, but not good taste-wise.

Actually kind of smells like pumpkin, and is orange. Has that ginger spice. Only my second pumpkin ale, but light years ahed of the Pumpkinhead. A nice seasonal.

Pours a light amber with 1/4 inch head. Head quickly disperses. Aroma is pumpkin, nutmeg, allspice, and toothpaste... yes, toothpaste. Taste is heavy on the pumpkin and nutmeg. Aftertaste mixes pumpkin and hops. Body is watery, but with the heavy pumpkin taste, I don’t think I could handle a full bodied version. Overall, this beer isn’t for me. I wanted to try this seasonal brew for a different taste experience, and that’s exactly what I got. Unfortunately, this is the first beer I’ve tasted in a long time that I really haven’t liked at all. The beer itself isn’t brewed poorly; my personal preference is just in a different direction. It’s always fun to try something new, though!

amazing aroma, smells like a fresh pumpkin pie, an orange color with a small white head that goes away in a hurry. flavor didnt deliver on the aroma though, as the pumpkin wasnt enough of a force to carry the glass. not a bad brew, but not enough flavor to make me come back for more.

This is the first spiced brew I’ve had. I had little hopes for such beers but am pleasantly surprised by the subtelties in this beer. The cloves and ciniman really come through but do not overpower. Mouthfeel and aroma are a little weak. I’d like to try more spiced beers like this.

This is the first Pumpkin Ale I’ve ever tasted. Interesting flavors. I’m pretty sure there’s not any real pumpkin (as the bottle says)...that would not keep well. Ton’s of spices; nutmeg, cinnamon and clove?...slight hops in the aroma. This one is light and lets the spice come forward. Nice and easy pale ale base makes this a lawn mowers...er uh, I mean, leaf raker’s dream. Happy Halloween!
