Slight hint of roasty malt, not overpowering. Matrixes well with mild hop character... so, well balanced and doesn't get that weird extra-bitter or astringency that can come from too much of either.

This is a favorite when I was drinking beer. Had to travel 2 hours away to find any !
Another typical T&C entry - solid example of the style without managing to be too exciting to me.
What are they calling Autumn Ale... Pumpkin? Dunkel?
Well it's an ale and I believe dunkel is a lager so it isn't quite exactly that, but it's a pretty close comp. Amber ale is probably the closest description but the nose does suggest the mild inclusion of an adjunct like pumpkin.
Correct... Dunkels are München's traditional dark lager. I was trying to be a little tongue in cheek by referencing a generic Oktoberfest theme. Of course... many of their beer styles are lagers.
Last I checked there is no actual Autumn Beer Style.
Darker Ales tend to run the scene... with Pumpkin or pumpkin spice or the like.... So tiring. At least yours looks to be well crafted with good clarity and some head retention!I'm knocking back a Ninkasi Total Dom.
Sláinte!
Slainte to you, my friend. You have correctly surmised my surname begins with an O followed by an apostrophe! (The standard formula seems to be O'Something preceded by the names of your parents' two favorite saints. That formula applies here.)
"Autumn ale" is no doubt a made up term the Yanks use to describe something they've dreamt up that crosses styles. Often that's creative and effective. We live in a golden age of good beer.

Curious…..
I normally have a reaction to beer (maybe the yeast?) such that my skin breaks out the day after a couple of largers or ale.
On a recent visit to Ireland, I was drinking Guiness and had no reaction at all. I tried a Smithicks (?) and I flared up again.

Jupiler from Belgium is a very easy drinking beer, 5% and Really nice!
I would expect it is either that or hops… though I haven’t really heard of such an allergy. Would love to hear if you ever figure it out!
Those classic ones are good, better than the beer.
Sacrilege though unless you have Guinness served correctly in one of the many amazing pubs around Dublin, I can understand being slightly disappointed, it just doesn't taste the same outside Ireland. I am from Ireland in case that was in doubt
Some pubs here in Canada have Guinness on tap I believe versus the others that open a can and pour it. Maybe we are missing something but it's pretty delicious here too.Sacrilege though unless you have Guinness served correctly in one of the many amazing pubs around Dublin, I can understand being slightly disappointed, it just doesn't taste the same outside Ireland.

But there are times when a proper pint of the dark stuff is just what's needed.
Don't get me wrong, it's not always... and definitely not everywhere... but there are times...
Like after tripping acid on Ocean Beach and hiking halfway back across The City to Grateful Dead Night at Nickies on the Haight!
Not that I've done that before...
Or at least in the last 20 years.

Local Cleveland Brewery that does a good Hefe!!
Good I am glad, yes it has to be from a tap (though Guiness are trying to innovate with some 'machines' that try to get a 'perfect' pint from special cans (not the take away can's though).Some pubs here in Canada have Guinness on tap I believe versus the others that open a can and pour it.

Many times I have had many a nice pint of Guinness on my travels (including in Canada) but IMO there is consistency in certain pubs in Ireland. I hope you get a chance to try some in Ireland in the future.
My local serves a decent Guinness according to visiting Irishmen.Sacrilege though unless you have Guinness served correctly in one of the many amazing pubs around Dublin, I can understand being slightly disappointed, it just doesn't taste the same outside Ireland.
