Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale


Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale.

6.7 % ABV, Elysian Brewing, Seattle, WA. 

One more out of season seasonal. Maybe it's the last? We'll see. 

Hazy, muddy, murky, small head. 

In the nose: all pumpkin-y, accompanied by appropriate spice, allspice, nutmeg, etc. Cinnamon? Maybe. 

In the mouth: Smooth, medium-bodied, malt forward, little hop bitterness. All pumpkinny. Spices play lightly on the palate. Just a little juicy. Here comes a bit of bitterness to balance the spice. Not too shabby  of a pumpkin ale. Not too shabby at all. 

Night Owl Pumpkin Ale :: Our Original Pumpkin Ale.
