Hoppin’ Frog won a Gold Medal at the 2010 GABF in the Field Category with Frog’s Hollow Double Pumpkin Ale. This is the second Great American Beer Festival Gold medal winner in three years for this young brewery. Pumpkin is a fast growing segment of the beer industry, and Hoppin’ Frog’s ability to land a gold shows that the brewer is no slouch.
Tasting Notes:
When poured from the bottle it produces a nice white head and a dark amber color with a nice amount of bubbles. The head produced a spicy aroma with nutmeg and clove standing out above the pumpkin. A very light pumpkin flavor was dominated by pumpkin pie spices. The beer lacks the bread flavors found in most pumpkin beer, but this is not a bad thing. Overall the beer reminds me more of pumpkin pie filling than the whole pie. A fizzy mouthfeel that creates a bit of a bite. As the GABF medal attests this is a beer worth having.
