Beer Review: Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

The last few days have been a little cooler and the traditional end of Summer, Labor Day, is almost here. That means it's time for Fall and all of the seasonal beers that seem to come out to celebrate the change of seasons. One of the more popular styles for Fall is Pumpkin Ale. A lot of craft brewers, and some of the "fake craft beers" from the macro brewers are distributing their own version of this beer. I decided to start out the Fall seasonal "season" by reviewing Dogfish Head's Punkin Ale:

@vtg401009 Yes, it is. Although seeing pumpkin beers in the store when it's 95 degrees outside is a little wierd. I'll pick up a couple of them this year to hopefully review. Thanks for watching!

@eas900s There is definitely a pumpkin pie flavor going on in this beer.

I will have to try this one again. Last time I had it was a couple years back and I was not impressed. I rated it 2.5 on ratebeer.

@geoffolehane I thought it was a decent beer. Better than average but not fantastic.

I just found next to me 6 pac of SmuttyNose Pumkin Ale for $10, they were selling a 4 pack of this Dogfish Head Punkin Ale for the same price.

@VideoBeerReviews Oh I don't drink them in this weather, I keep them for the cold nights and thanksgiving feasts. We always pick up 4-5 of the 4-packs and save them throughout the fall and winter

@James2179109 It's already in the stores so I might need to pick up some to have this Fall.

I didn't really taste the alcohol in this beer. But, that's the fun part about beer, everyone tastes something different.
