Anderson Valley Brewing Co. Fall Hornin’ Pumpkin Ale

Discovering Fall Hornin’ Pumpkin Ale

Fall is here, and so are the pumpkin ales! One standout from Anderson Valley Brewing Co. is their Fall Hornin’. This beer offers a rich copper hue and a creamy beige head. Right away, you notice the inviting aromas of caramelized malt, baking bread, and seasonal spices.

When you take a sip, the flavor hits you. Toasty malt greets you first, followed by the perfect blend of spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove. It’s balanced and not overly sweet. A nice caramel malt sweetness leads into a dry, bitter finish. This makes it a refreshing choice for a pumpkin ale.

What sets Fall Hornin’ apart? It’s drinkable and approachable. Many pumpkin ales can feel heavy or overly sweet, but this one strikes a perfect balance. At 6% ABV, it’s sturdy without being overwhelming.

If you haven’t tried it yet, make sure to add this to your fall beer list. Grab a few bottles and explore the variety in pumpkin ales. Just remember, these beers don’t store well, so enjoy them fresh!

Every year, I get nostalgic when I open my first advent beer calendar. It takes me back to my childhood advent calendars filled with chocolate. This year, my first beer was Fall Hornin’. What a delight!

Pumpkin ales represent fall with their warm spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, and more. They usually have a malty backbone and minimal bitterness. Anderson Valley’s pumpkin ale fits right into this trend.
