UFO Pumpkin Ale

Pumpkin ale is an acquired taste.  I must say that one i acquired it, i never looked back.  I can't get enough of the stuff.  It's the first sign that football season is beginning and that the temperature is finally gonna drop a few degrees.  And so we have UFO Pumpkin Ale from Massachusetts' Harpoon Brewery.  It's not my favorite (that distinction belongs to Buffalo Bills), but it will do in a pinch.  The malts give the beer a smooth, sweet flavor, while the hops give it just the right amount of beer bitterness.  Neither of these out does the pumpkin flavor.  Since the beer is unfiltered, the pumpkinny taste weighs pretty heavy over the brew, but combines nicely with the malts to give the beer almost a pumpkin pie taste.  All in all, an awesome Autumn drink.

Visit the brewer.
