New Holland Ichabod

Brewed by New Holland Brewing Company
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Holland, Michigan USA

Thoughtthis was prett drinkable, but not very pumpkin. No noticeable pumpkin aroma. A light trace on the tongue, almost an afterthought. Some decent malts and very light hops. Ultimately not a show stealer, but very solid, esp. for a vegetable brew. Also - they have a much cooler lable now!

Draft at Boston’s Bistro, Dayton. I love the name and label. Bright orange with a poofy top. The aroma said "attack of the gourd!" Spicy yet light-bodied in the aroma with an almost lemony finish that didn’t quite fit. Thin, too, for a fall beer.

Bottle. Nice pumpkin color, pleasant vegetable-like aroma but not necessarily pumpkin in nature. Smells spicy too. Very drinkable, mild and spiced, sort of a beer version of apple cider. No beer bitterness whatsoever, some folks won’t like that at all but it’s my bag. Maybe drank it a touch too cold.

Poured orangy gold amber ale, looked pretty in the glass, hardly any head, had to pour hard to make a head on top, smells of pumpkin (and hints of that fresh pumpkin smell when cleaning out the insides before carving), squash, some cooked vegetables, and a little spices, taste of pumpkin was subdued, some bite on the tongue from hops and a dry finish, this beer looked and had the fragrance of a pumpkin ale, the spices were muted, I would buy this again.

Golden color with a light, white head. Not too sweet, but a little bit with some bitter flavors. A decent beer that drinks pretty easily...not huge on the pumpkin flavor though.

dark gold with a white head that sticks around. aroma light pumpkin spice. flavor light malt pumpkin and pumpkin spice with a hint of hops. light body. finish fairly bitter pumpkin spice. this beer is nowhere near as good as i remember it being last year.

Its a yellow color with a hint of orange and a small white head. This beer is very drinkable, almost too much so. It smells very much like pumpkin, and tastes very spicey with maybe carrots and cinammon, some malt, some light fruit.

Pours a rather light, almost macro yellow with just about no head. The nose is a bit more inviting. Holiday spices, light malt, and a hint of something vegetable-like? Hell, maybe even pumpkin. The body is fizzy and light, which I suppose suits the style, a real session beer. The flavor isn’t bad, but doesn’t distinguish itself from the rest of the genre. Light malt, filled to the gills with cinnamon and nutmeg, with only the slightest bit of pumpkin rounding out the end. Perhaps, a bit soapy. Still, I could drink a dozen of these, and I was in the mood for this at the time, so this is a decent beer, when in the mood for an easy drinking seasonal.
