Buffalo Bills Pumpkin Ale

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

Not much exciting here guys .... I’d bet it would be decent to cook with though. Different ... the spices come though, kinda zingy .....

Smells pretty much like apple cinnamon cheerios, cool. Tastes is really clovey, and the other spices come through. I personally hate spiced beers of this kind (like Our Special Ale). Has a nice mouthfeel, but I couldnt finish it.

Nutmeg, nutmeg, nutmeg. Pours a light amber color with a miniscule head. Lots of nutmeg aroma with a hint of pumpkin and hops. Essentially, this reminds me of BMC swill with a darker color and a few tablespoons of nutmeg. This one could stand some malt complexity to counterbalance the nutmeg bite. Unbalanced, thin and hard to drink.

Bottle. Pours a medium amber with short-lived head. The aroma is strong with cinnamon, and cloves and nutmeg. This beer has a strong pumpkin pie flavor with a sweet aftertaste.. I kept thinking it would be great with whipped cream. After that thought, I realized that this is a novelty beer that is perfect to kick off fall, but not a beer that I would want to drink a lot of. Of the pumpkin beers I have tried, this is pretty good. Re-rate note. I opened our third case of this beer, and all we could taste was pure cloves.... every other flavor was wiped out by overpowering cloves. I returned the case to the distributor as damaged goods..... not sure what happened to this particular case, but keep an eye out for this.

Bottle: Clear orange/amber body with tiny bubbles rising to the surface. The off-white head quickly dies after it’s poured. The aroma is fresh-almost grassy-pumpkin, clove, cinnamon, and a tiny bit of sweet malt. The flavor shows a bit more spice than pumpkin, and a bit more clove than I’m used to in these pumpkin ales. Cinnamon and clove hit the tongue immediately, followed by a bit of sweet pumpkin pie filling, a hint of yeast, nutmeg, and then the cloves take over again. The finish is dominated by cloves and spice, with a little bit of roasted nuts coming through towards the very end. Light bodied, medium-lively carbonation.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a golden orange with a small head that dissolves quickly. Nose is of spicy cinnamon and pumpkin. Tastes just like pumpkin pie with plenty of spice. Nutmeg, cinnamon and perhaps a touch of vanilla are present. A little thin and watery.

bottle, pours a light orange large white head dissipates rather quickly. smells of clove and cinnimon. taste is overpowering clove and cinimon. just like pumpkin pie. i dont like pumpkin pie so i dont know why i bought this .

starts off with a foamy white head that mostly dissapates. Nice pumpkiny color, strong but pleasant pumpkin pie spice aroma. The flavor isn’t bad, but it’s over carbonated and seems a bit thin.
