Chatoe Rogue First Growth Pumpkin Patch Ale, the newest addition toe Rogue's rapidly expanding GYO (Grow Your Own) Chatoe Rogue series, poured a deep orange with a thin, beige-orange head. The nose presented a nicely balanced and understated pumpkin pie spice over a sweet but toasty and dry malt aroma.
Chatoe Rogue First Growth Pumpkin Patch Ale opened earthy and dry in the mouth, with a semi-sweet pumpkin flesh and malt flavor leading the charge. Cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, cloves, and nutmegs come through well balanced but delicately added; never taking over the malts. The ale faded slightly dusty and spicy, drying out completely by the end.
Chatoe Rogue First Growth Pumpkin Patch Ale is a tasty, fun way to celebrate the Fall season, and Rogue should be commended; both for growing their own pumpkins and for the tasteful addition of spices to the ale. Crack one open with me... it's Halloween!
