What the brewers say
“More than 200 pounds of fresh, organic pumpkins dumped into the mash.”
What our panel thought
“On the nose, slightly sweet and malty with reserved spice in the background. Clean, slightly dry finish. Reminds one of a slightly spiced Octoberfest. The ‘pumpkin’ aspect is pushed way to the background.”
What our editors thought
“Brilliant coppery color. Pleasant, mellow, restrained nose with fresh-roasted pumpkin and crust—not spices. More prominent are pleasant, soft caramel-malt notes. Light sweetness with a firm lingering herbal bitterness. Subtle, and more Oktoberfest than pumpkin beer.”
