Continuing our path of fall gourd ales that aren’t just “pumpkin pie spice mix” darker beers, we turn again to cuisine for spur. Here we deconstruct a “Zucca Ravioli” served in brown butter and sage topped with grated biscotti. Roasted butternut squash meat with butter added to the mash of a rich ale, fermented on anise cookies from our cohorts at The Flaky Tart and dry hopped with sage from our neighbors The Homestead at 7 Arrows. An autumn plate from the hills of Northern Italy interpreted as a Jersey harvest time ale. Drink Rav because there are always more spices on that shelf.

On tap at Goodnight Irene’s in Wildwood, NJ. Sweet toasted malt nose. Flavor is big on spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and the like. Can’t really taste the butternut squash. A bit buttery, though. Decent, but just another pumpkin ale style.

From tap. Pours cloudy orange with a small off white head. Aroma is mild fruity and toasted malty. Sweet, toasted malty and light toasted. Bitter and slight herbal. Lingering fruity. Smooth and crisp hoppy into the finish.
