Hoppin' Frog - Frog's Hollow Double Pumpkin Ale

One of the beers with the best story written on the label is Hoppin' Frog's Frog's Hollow Double Pumpkin Ale purchased at Havana House.


"There's a place just south they call Frog's Hollow, with cauldron's afire in Fall, and they only speak in whispers of the name. There's a brewery they say who has the secret, of spices picked just right. With a crying shout, they'll knock it out, and hand you this Frog's delight." It is brewed with pumpkin and spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and clove). This 2010 GABF gold medal winner is 18.4°P, 7.3 IBUs, and 8.4% ABV.

Overall average rating: 8.7/10

This beer is orange and cloudy with no head. The aroma is very crisp and uncluttered - you get pumpkin and spices, particularly nutmeg and cinnamon. The taste yields a strong pumpkin start with honey, cinnamon, and light clove flavors. It is overall and excellent flavored beer with a front tongue bite.

Shawn- It is clean and crisp, and I'm able to decipher the flavors and aromas well. My rating is again damned because of the Pumking Ale, 8.5/10.
Angela- This is a well-flavored beer, and it is what I want when I crave a pumpkin ale, 8.5/10.
Chris- I actually like this better than the Weyerbacher. I really like that I can taste the flavors individually and together, and it also doesn't taste overly alcohol-y considering the higher ABV, 9/10.
