It's October now! I figured it would be fitting to focus on some autumnal beers! I'm going mostly pumpkin, so let's kick this off with one pumpkin ale I had never tried before.
New Holland Brewing has some delicious beers in their line-up! They don't have a staple that is a regular for me, but their
Dragon's Milk Ale. Seriously...check it out. Ah-mazing! Let's get this this Ichabod Ale though.
The
Ichabod Pumpkin Ale tasted exactly like what a pumpkin beer should be. The beer was brewed with barley, real pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg....almost a pumpkin pie! The aroma is spicy and makes me crave more fall weather.
The beer had a minimal head which matched with the lighter carbonation level. Overall, this beer didn't stand out to me. It tasted like a "typical" pumpkin beer, which isn't necessarily a bad thing! It didn't surpass my favorite October beer (
which I'll spotlight later this month) though. Pick it up while you're stocking up on other pumpkin ales!
CHEERS!
