Engine 45 (Pumpkin Ale)

Mendocino Seasonal Pumpkin Ale is now Engine 45.
Engine 45 Pumpkin Ale 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, crip and balanced. Show Less
