beer_name: Pumpkin Ale
text: Served on tap at BJ's in San Mateo on Nov 6, 2005. The color is ruby to tawny brown with a thin ringed head on top. The aroma is sweet with a holidy spice nose consisting of close and cinnamon. The flavor is full of spices including nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon. The malt profile is very thin and more watery than anything. Some light caramel before the faint bready ending. The feel is light to medium bodied. The spices seem to add a bit more texture than this beer could otherwise claim. The beer was very well carbonated from the tap. Overall this was an enjoyable beer but nothing great. It went well with the pizza we were eating but that's about it.
