Our first tasting adventure started as a seasonal celebration of Pumpkin Ale. After buying over $80 dollars worth beer (mostly pumpkin) from the store, we devised a plan to taste one beer a night until
we had tried a good variety. The first, and also most expensive,
Dogfish "Punkin" Ale ($8.99 for a 4 pack) was a beer named after the renowned Delaware traditional Punkin Chuckin event. Weighing in at a respectable 7% ABV, it's alcohol content matched it's price. On to the tasting!
Poured into a glass (Tara usually does not allow this), the beer had about an 1/4" of head, and was a nice. It was a pretty lightly colored beer. We both enjoyed it and were surprised at how little of an aftertaste it had for it's strength. We thought it did not taste much like Pumpkin though (but we will try again later). Dan had a second, warm one. After pouring and drinking, we didn't talk about it much. We have a long way to go maybe....
