Manhattan Beach Pumpkin Ale

Brewed by Manhattan Beach Brewing
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Manhattan Beach, California USA

I remember this as Great Pumpkin ale back when it was first brewed in the early 90s. If I remebr correct MBBC opened in 1991 or so. Tap at MBBC. pours a rich copper color with nice white head. Aroma of pumpkin cinnamon and spice. Taste is malty sweetness pumpkin cinnamon spice. Finish is pumpkin and spice. I remeber waiting for this special brew every October. I need to re visit the MBBC again.

Good nose with hints of pumpkins and cinnamon. Decent color brassy color, however, a little thin. Some what flat on the palate with hints of pumpkin and cinnamon again. My biggest complaint is that the cinnamon overpowered the pumpkin instead of complementing it. Still, one I'd have again an a cold autumn night.
