Uinta Brewing Company Punk'n
What the brewers say
“Brewed with fresh pumpkin and seasonal spices. The flavor is malt and hops accented with roasted pumpkin and spices of the season plus a hint of vanilla and honey.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Brown sugar and toasted pumpkin followed by subtle cinnamon and nutmeg and maybe a hint of cloves. Malt sweetness is there but very subtle. Mild esters.”
Flavor: “Some caramel malt sweetness with notes of pumpkin and brown sugar followed by cinnamon, ginger, and pie spices. A bit dry with a finish that borders too close to bitter, with a very subtle lingering bitterness and very light hops flavor.”
Overall: “Very nice. At first, the spices are a bit too subtle, but as it warms, the spices grow more apparent. Needs a touch more malt backbone and could benefit from richer spicing. A slight bitterness lingers into the finish.”
