As a beer drinker who has held a serious dislike for all but a couple of fruit / vegetable infused beers I was quite surprised to find how much I have enjoyed pumpkin beers. They were all the rage this fall and this was the best of the three I tried. This one comes in a nice copper brown with a nice off white head that holds it's head nicely. It has very subtle hints of the spices used. They have added cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves & ginger during fermentation, while adding roasted and raw pumpkin seeds and pumpkin flesh in the mash tin. The spice and pumpkin are not overwhelming in any way they just add to the depth of flavor. This beer is perfect for a cool evening in the fall, it is also a great food pairing beer and would go great with a turkey dinner or bowl of squash soup. I can't wait till next fall to get a few more of these.
