Suncreek Brewery Mashing Gourds Brown Ale. Clermont Florida. Auburn brown fluff hat tops this tea-colored brown ale with ‘chase the lips’ lacing contortions slipping in unctious ecstasy. Big, big spice nose shows all the stars, starting with nutmeg and clove, allspice and cinnamon. Root beer afterthoughts. Bold and chocolate-y palate brimming with coffee and chai complete the picture. Amoeba afterlace. Chock full of goodness and autumnal earmarks.

Jumping, pink marshmallow fez says au revoir, and poof. Slick, fake Santa beard lacing drops like a kid’s dream to orange semi-translucent puck, and appropriate foam smirk. This beer ‘looks’ pumpkin. The nose is cinnamon-allspice, and expected clove; a sweet brown sugar note waves from the corner. Cinnamon-sugar opens across the palate with a cream soda feel. Lemon zest ties the spice together into a lemoncello grip when it finally deciphers the malt and sugar message. There is a cola element throughout, which, in conjunction with the lemon, delivers a very refreshing and familiar comfort. Quite nice for the dwindling dog days of Florida summer! Poolside Pumpkin!

White capped drop to cirrus clouds and white crayon dogs over a golden amber pool. Oily lacing slips into obscurity, undeciphered. Tangerine and lemon oils confront grapefruit and cashew on the nose. Light clove and blood orange emerge in golden lemon zest on the palate. The bread-y center reads as sourdough, and plays peek-a-boo with razor thin toffee creme.

Spiced tea orange body blooms a smoke stained mane of energy dispensed to dusk dune reflections; then wisps. Orange zested dark breads, a touch of white pepper, grain husks, and bee pollen on the nose. Incredibly weighted in terms of bitter and sweet interplay. Lemon emerges, clove flower, hibiscus tea, orange pekoe, sweet tea, tea biscuit. Delightful.

Florida Avenue Brewing Company ‘The Lantern’ Imperial Pumpkin Ale. Pumpkin-amber color of ale extends to head which undulates as dissolving eyes lace into spooky reaching claw and ghost flame afterlace. Cinnamon-apple nose fades to expose a cauldron of pumpkin spice and butternut, spaghetti, and acorn squash, and finally the gourd lord, pumpkin. Bourbon strikes the palate first with a caramel and cedar urgency, leaving a tannic mark. Nutmeg and allspice roll about the floor, kicking up the bud-covered rug. What this lacks in creaminess, it exerts in agro spice. I’m on the fence with this one, and make no mistake, I am impaled there. I want to try this one in a year! I think it deserves that. See you next year! Happy haunting.

Persimmon colored amber with bone white crown showing yellow orange hues. Lace rock bridges crumble to wolves howling, then to sauropods gliding. The residual ice shelf showed a clear question mark. Now this one brings the nose-bread, with honeyed brown, potato, and dinner roll; lightest citrus note reflections. Grilled lemon and ripe lemon bathe one another with cola and ginger while a bitter acorn asserts. Light brown sugar and even a cinnamon edge protrude as grapefruit takes the helm and captains this interesting animal into the beyond. Spicy, citrusy, gleaming.

Amber tinged head atop an amber, auburn clarity. Light bananas foster turns up the rum-sage on the nose, then brings peanut oil, and allspice. Peanut brittle and dark brown sugar nestle inside rye toast, brioche and a bittering savory whisper. Pleasant interplay of malt and bitter, but always with a slightly honeyed finish.

Penn Brewery märzen. Topaz-Amber body; creamy blonde-touched head of fine mousse. Sheet lacing dissolves to Dover cliffs. Cirrus afterlace. Pretzel bread nose with dried grapefruit peel, apple and pear. Rich mouthfeel and hint of sarsaparilla. Pecan and dark pretzel, lemon dusting and lime oil. Phenomenal offering! Just perfect!

Beware the Ph…er, Fog! Lil’ Pumky from Abomination Brewing Company, North Haven CT. Gourdy gourdy gumdrops! Chalk colored shaver’s lather devolves to ghost trails. Gator snout lacing draws back horizontally, Nose shows strong citrus and squash notes; lime and lemongrass push grapefruit to the fore. This one, though creamy, stays citrusy throughout, and the pumpkin spice is very light, but the true pumpkin aspect came through. This is a valiant effort to achieve real pumpkin flavor, which is difficult. This brewery is on the right track, and honestly, I’m not sure where to improve, but it needs a little spice kick from a specialty hop, perhaps. I humbly submit.

Alpenglow head with pink salmon tinges. Creamy crop with teardrop stylized baby fauna lacing. Bright clementine-lemon nose that smacks of unfrosted cinnamon roll, lemon pecan sandies, and honey, with lime oil, and dried pineapple. Suddenly, racy lemon and orange aggressively burst forth from behind a malty waterfall, elbowing Earl Gray in his Milquetoast-maker, before knocking seven bells out of his breadbasket and butternut. Flavorful despite a decidedly violent streak.
