Review: Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale
Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale was introduced in 2002. It is one of four pumpkin flavored beers the Elysian Brewery crafts in Seattle Washington. The other three beers include Punkuccino Coffee Pumpkin Ale, Great Pumpkin Imperial Pumpkin Ale, and Dark O The Moon Pumpkin Stout. If you have any doubt they take their pumpkin beer seriously, you have obviously not been to their annual Great Pumpkin Beer Festival. This year the festival is on October 8th, and there will be over 80 unique pumpkin beers brewed from across the country. Night Owl Pumpkin Ale is a pumpkin ale that has scored high on many top ten pumpkin beer lists for years, but it has never been available in my market. The Elysian Brewery was acquired by Anhueser-Busch Inbev January 2015, and say what you will about the big breweries buying up the craft breweries, I am finally able to find this beer at my local liquor store. I believe pumpkin flavored beers have more of a tendency of changing their recipe or ABV, than any type of beer. Night Owl Pumpkin Ale is no exception, as previous years reviews post the ABV at 5.9. This years bottle lists a 6.7 ABV. Night Owl Pumpkin Ale is brewed with 7 1/2 pounds of pumpkin per barrel with roasted and raw pumpkin seeds included in the mash. It is also spiced with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.It pours to a golden orange pumpkin color with a fluffy tan head. The aroma is cinnamon, pumpkin, and nutmeg with a malty backing. The pumpkin spice entry has cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice flavor. A malty flavor with ginger, and clove arrive at the midpoint before fading with citrus hops. There is a creamy thickness to this beer indicative of the 7 1/2 pounds of pumpkin added in the brewing process. I did not have the previous 5.9 ABV version of Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Beer, but I can tell you I did like this version.
