It is as true to Mendocino County as is the legendary Skunk Train and its annual Pumpkin Express! Our Pumpkin Ale is just as delicious as a slice of Pumpkin Pie. This deep dark amber beer is brewed with a variety of caramel and roasted malts to give it a strong malt body. Pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice combine perfectly to give the beer its characteristic refreshing Fall taste. Giving this ale a unique twist is the addition Cocoa nibs during fermentation, in a process very similar to dry hopping. The Cocoa nibs embellish this already bold Fall Beer Classic with notes of dark chocolate. And we didn't forget the hops! A judicious quantity of Apollo hops are added during the boil to ensure the beer finishes strong, crisp and balanced.
