"This is a big-bodied beer with a light coppery orange color and pleasing aromas of pumpkin and nutmeg. The Pale Ale, Wheat and Light Munich malts combine with the natural tannin in pumpkin and the delicate spiciness of Willamette and Hallertau hops to balance the sweetness of fruit." To enjoy all of the flavors to their fullest, this beer is best served at 55°F, and it is excellent to cook with (i.e. braised short ribs). It pairs well with sharp cheeses, nuts, lamb, hearty stews, flan, pumpkin pie, and (oddly enough) Fig Newtons. It is 1.088 OG and 9% ABV.
Overall average rating: 7.7/10
The color is an orangey straw/light amber hue. The aroma is that of pumpkin, nutmeg, and cinnamon. We don't notice any clove or allspice scents or any extra sweetness in the aroma. There is a side and slight front tongue bite, and the taste gives us cinnamon, nutmeg, and hops, with a slight clove flavor.
Shawn- This is a very drinkable beer for the fall. I like the crispness and find it to be hopped just enough to bring out the other flavors, 7/10.
Angela- This is spicy and delicious, and it is exactly what I want from a pumpkin beer, 8/10.
Chris- This is a beer I normally suggest to someone who has never had pumpkin beer before. I will be drinking this again, 8/10.
