re: Pumpkin Beers at Calandros?quote: The bar around the corner from me does it with a cinnamon brown sugar mix. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Do any places in Baton Rouge carry Terrapin? Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Agreed. No flavor. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Nope, Terrapin doesn't distribute here yet. I had my parents look for it last weekend when they were in Destin, but no luck there either. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: The Blue Moon would be good for someone who is scared to try a pumpkin ale. It was okay, but nothing special. It had the spice flavor but not the pumpkin taste I was looking for. Reply • Back to Top |
| So has anyone tried the WoodChuck Pumpkin Cider?? Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Yes. It's different. It's got a funky aftertaste. I guess i came in expecting a beer, and i got a cider with pumpkin, which is just a strange flavor. Overall, not a big fan. I don't believe i'm a pumpkin beer fan. I loved my pumpkin beer i brewed, and pumpkinator is simply amazing, but every other pumpkin brew i've had, i don't like. Wasatch = too much spice not enough pumpkin Shipyard = same Brooklyn Post road = same, way too much spice and no pumpkin Dogfish head = a little better, but not great Sam adams fatjack = not bad. One of the better pumpkins i had Pumpkinator = The best pumpkin ale, period. I have Southern Tier pumpking coming in, and one by Elysian brewing. Hopefully those are good. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Well, it is called a cider for a reason. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Pumking is awesome, but on the pumpkin pie end of the spectrum. Try to find weyerbacher imperial pumpkin. Thats was my favorite last year. Reply • Back to Top |
| Post Road might be my least favorite Pumpkin. It's almost sour with a tang. It has little to no pumpkin flavoring. Reply • Back to Top |
Had a Southern Tier Pumpking last night  Easily my second favorite pumpkin beer. Finally a pumpkin beer with pumpkin and the right amount of spice. You can actually taste the pumpkin and are not overwhelmed by the spices. This is easily #2 behind Pumpkinator Reply • Back to Top |
| Zea actually made one years back that was great. Every pumpkin beer I've had since is almost all spice and no pumpkin flavor. In my attempt to fix this, I have a pumpkin ale fermenting now. Decent amount of pumpkin, and very little spice. This post was edited on 10/11 at 1:13 pm Reply • Back to Top |
quote: very good beer. its #3 on my list behind pumkinator and weyerbacher. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I think i talked to you earlier about my pumpkin ale. I used about 3-4 cans of pumpkin, with 1 packet of pumpkin spice (recipe kit from Austin Homebrew). Came out great, except i did a shitty job carbonating it.  Reply • Back to Top |
| I have a bomber of Jolly Pumpkin pumpkin beer (don't remember the exact name of the beer....sounds French) that I'm saving. Might drink it around Thanksgiving or something. Hope it's good. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I grabbed a bottle last year. I don't really remember too much about it. However, i do recall being very unpleased with it. Because i kept on seeing jolly pumpkin and would wonder, why no pumpkin ales from jolly pumpkin. I tasted it, and i found out why. However, its been awhile and my beer palate has improved some, so maybe i wasn't ready for it yet, or it is just plain bad. Good luck.  Reply • Back to Top |
quote: They are known for sours/farmhouse/wild ales, so that could be part of your dislike for it. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Ah, this was the reason then. I still can't get myself to really enjoy a sour. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
