Harpoon UFO Pumpkin:
Howdy partners and welcome to today’s beer round-up! Today we hit the trail in the pursuit of another delicious pumpkin ale and that search leads us to a UFO. OOOOOOO, AHHHHHHH. Yes folks a heaven sent beer from our little grey overlords and their flyin’ pie pans. Well, actually, it’s a beer from our beer friends at Harpoon and their UnFilted Offering line (hence: UFO) and this beer is their Unfiltered Pumpkin Ale. The beer pours a cloudy orange brown color with a creamy white head and subtle nose of canned pumpkin with an undertone of brown sugar. The initial taste is much like the Post Road pumpkin with a slight pumpkin taste that has a soda water back (in other words, it’s watered down) and a mid tongue of spice and subtle booze. The back-end and after taste are very similar in it’s affects on the palate which is minimal, nothing but a lingering weak hops flavor and a bit of creaminess. All and all, this is a very uneventful pumpkin ale, little lone a mediocre beer. I expected more out of Harpoon and their UFO line but, alas, I was let down on this one.
