Jay's Honey Amber Wheat

My girlfriend brought me a bottle of her coworker Jay's Homebrew that was a Honey Amber Wheat. The beer pours a golden amber color with a tall frothy white head that has some good lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of lemon and wheat with fresh grassy hops and a hint of honey. The taste is light bodied and has a light caramel base with fresh grassy hops that dry the tongue. The finish continues to dry the mouth in the manner that honey does. The alcohol content is not available but I would guess it to be around 6.0% ABV. While this beer is light bodied and not too intense, it is quite refreshing while providing a nice earthy hop accent.

Jay's Pumpkin Ale

My girlfriend's boss Jay gave her a bottle of his home brewed pumpkin ale for me to try. The beer pours a brown color with a frothy tan head. The aroma consists of lots of cinnamon and nutmeg with a background of pumpkin. The taste is dry and malty with a healthy dose of cinnamon that dries out the tongue. The finish kicks in with some pumpkin and caramel and the after taste dries out again with nutmeg. No alcohol content is available but I would assume it to be around 7.0% ABV. This was a very good pumpkin beer that focused on the spices with the pumpkin accenting the rest of the beer.
