[ben the brewman]

i had a chance to review all 3 of the beers that rooster445 sent this weekend because my wife was out of town and i had nothing else to do so here are the reviews. all of these are my only opinions to my taste and smell. i am not a beer judge but i have had experince in my brew club in judging. thanks for sending the beers i really enjoyed them.

Pumpkin

this beer had no head on it when poured only small bubbles around the glass and it had little carbonation. the beer is a very clear and has nice amber hue to it. the aroma is fruity and slightly spicey with no malt aroma but you can smell the molasses in it. it has medium body and it tasted slightly bitter at first but finished out smooth. i didnt taste much pumpkin or pumpkin spice. overall this beer is very drinkable but i think it could use more pumpkin or more pumpkin spice.


i would rate this 31 out of 50

APA

this beer has good carbonation and pours to a nice off white color head. this beer is very clear and has a nice golden color. the aroma is very citiruisy and grapefuit like with little to no malt presence. it has clean bitterness and leaves no astringency. there is a nice balance of malt to hops and it leaves lacing on the glass after a drink. this beer is very good and would be a very nice summertime beer. fits in the catagory very well

i would rate this a 35 out of 50.
