Dogfish Head Punkin Ale:
Hello friends and neighbors and welcome to a first here in the little beer world I’ve created and that is this: a request.  Actually it was requests from several people that said they saw this beer and thought about me which begs the questions: Do I remind them of a dog?  A Fish? A dogfish? We’ll probably never know but in the meantime lets get to the reason why we are here: Dogfish Head’s Punkin Ale.  This beer is celebrated and highly sought after by those in the know as well as anyone drawn to it’s neon color packaging.  The beer has it’s origin in Delaware’s annual Punkin Chunkin contest (where the beer deputed there in 1994) and the legend was born.  The beer pours a light amber color that is very effervescent with cascading columns of bubbles in the beer, a decent head that foams up during pour but settles to a thin beige covering on the beer while the nose is very similar to pumpkin pie (pre-baking).  The beer’s taste starts of with the flavor of pumpkin and a brown ale mix and moves to a mid tongue of allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon (basically what makes a pumpkin pie awesome) while the back end is a nice blend of pumpkin and brown sugar.   Yes it’s another great beer from Dogfish, something that is expected at this point, isn’t it?  If you were lucky enough to grab a bottle (or 4-pack) of this or can still find some, enjoy, it’s worth every drop.
