Haven't posted in a while, and since it's Halloween, I thought it would be fitting to rate a pumpkin beer. I bought this new release from Southern Tier: Pumking.
The 22 oz. bottle ran me $5.35 and weighs in at 9% ABV. Pours a clear orange with minimal white head. Aroma is all pumpkin bread, with some cinnamon or other sweet spices. Taste is similar, with pumpkin spice being the dominant flavor, followed by other maltiness, with some booze in the back. Despite the slight booze, it goes down very easy. If the palate were thicker, I’d be in heaven. I'm a big fan of pumpkin pie, I must admit. This was certainly the best pumpkin beer I’ve had, though I haven’t had too many (Blue Moon, DFH Punkin). 3.75 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
