Pumpkin Ale Powwow

As winter temperatures seem to be moderating here, I will try some pumpkin ales with Audrey.
Jack's Pumpkin Ale (w/spices): Color-Clear orange amber Nose-Spicy First taste-Quick taste; quicker fade Observations-Not much going on Fizziness-Foamy head; few bubbles Cost-$.83 Where Brewed? St.Louis, Mo. Factoid-From Michelob Collection Aftertaste-Slight Rating-Mike-6.5 Audrey-8 Avg.-7.25
Smuttynose Pumpkin: Color-Clear orange amber Nose-Pumkiny First taste-Nice flavor; lingers Observations-Tasty; slightly bitter Fizziness-Rim head; some carbonation Cost-$1.20 Where Brewed? Portsmouth, NH Factoid-Cuchobino Pumpkin Aftertaste-Full mouth Rating-Mike-7.75 Audrey-6.5 Avg.-7.125
Final Thought-Audrey liked Bud's Pumpkin (w/spices)more; Smuttynose my fave!!!
