Buffalo Bills Pumpkin Ale:
Hello friends and neighbors and welcome back to this little pumpkin patch stroll that we are doing, scanning the ground for not baby pumpkins but beer! Now, I can’t vouch that these pumpkin beers grow on vines but if they did, you can bet your bottom dollar I’d be buying that plant’s seeds for sure and planting a south 40‘s worth of ‘em too.   Now today’s beer is probably one of the most well known pumpkin beers out there: Buffalo Bill’s Pumpkin Ale.  This beer pours a nice light amber color with a stark white head that pops like Alka Seltzer in water and a nose of heavy brown sugar and canned pumpkin.  The initial taste of the beer is a carbonation fizz on the tip of the tongue with a pumpkin pie taste that moves to a hoppy backbone and a nice mild finish on the back of the tongue and an aftertaste of pumpkin.  I really liked this beer, but I had reservations on it’s taste but after trying their Strawberry Cream Ale earlier this year, Buffalo Bill’s has given us a nice seasonal beer.  I believe that this beer is definitely worth checking out if you run across a single or two.
