This has been the best Pumpkin beer I have tried to date. [too bad it turned me down]… badum ching!
I found this at The Local in Astoria on draft. Not sure if it was the two autumn cocktails before at DiWine, but this beer was just perfect. Once again, being surrounded with great company makes everything taste better.
Amber with a light sheen to heavy haze, off-white foam and lacing.
Big pumpkin pie spice up front: cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and clove. Cranberry and other red fruits back it up with lighter notes of pumpkin, floral, and sweet-bread like malty notes.
Pumpkin pie sweetness with a very light sourness that finishes with an ever-so-slight bitterness.
Cloying and coating with spices. The finish is dry.
Pumpkin juice, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Allspice, Cranberries, Lemongrass
Pumpkin Score: 6 out of 5 Pumpkins
