Pumpking

Pours a deep golden color with a copper tone. Big white foamy head that dissipates quickly leaving a thin layer of foam on top. Watery spotty lacing. Aroma is very pleasant. A nice mixture of pumpkin, spices, nutmeg and cinnamon. Has a sweetness to it. Taste has a nice hop flavor upfront and works into a tasty blend of pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Reminds me of pumpkin pie with whip cream on top! Medium body with medium carbonation. Watery mouth feel. Overall a big winner in my book. One of the best pumpkin beers that I have had. Very well balanced and enjoyable. Have one on Halloween!

Poured clear into a snifter. Half inch of white, bubbly foam that had low retention, becoming just a minor sheeting over the top of the beverage. A little bit of blotchy lacing. Aroma is a pleasant combination of nutmeg, cinnamon, and light pumpkin. Probably one of the better pumpkin beers I have had in terms of balance on the sniffer. Similar to Moms' pumpkin pie that I had a few days ago. If the taste follows: potential for a great pumpkin beer. Taste has hops up front and finishes with some spice and bitterness from more hops. The spices: nutmeg and cinnamon, make up the middle of the beer with the aid of pumpkin flavors to boot. Medium bodied with a fair and complimentary amount of carbonation. Crisp, mouth watery finish to the beer. At first the hops didn't agree with me but after a few more sips, the hops, spices, and pumpkin are all keenly woven into a very satisfying rue. Definitely the best pumpkin beer I have had. Glad I have an entire bomber to myself. Enjoy!
