Commercial Description:
This American Spiced Ale is reminiscent of your favorite autumn dessert: pumpkin pie. The nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon that create this beer's delicious aroma are balanced against the malts and pumpkin in this recipe to give this spicy treat its charming flavor profile. Lil’s Grumpkin Pumpkin is only available while supplies last.

medium brown large white head. moderate carbonation. a little bitterness up front followed by somewhat indiscernable spices, that aren’t immediately identified as traditional pumpkin pie spices. the spice lies in the background, without much else to the beer. flawed recipe

On tap at Dragonmead. Mostly clear orange body, medium light tan head. Typical pumpkin pie spice aroma, with nutmeg, cinnamon, etc. slightly thin, cinnamon body with nutmeg and light bready notes and an earthy, rather chalky finish. Somewhat thin. Nothing special, I’m afraid.

On tap at the brewery. Orange amber color with a foamy beige head and a big nose of pumpkin pie spice. The smell reminded me of mom’s pumpkin cookies. Taste of cininmon, clove, pie spice and a white sugar sweetness. Palate is so dry you can almost taste the powder of the spices. A little light in body, and not enough beer here to support the spices. But I still like this style for an Autumn treat.

Tap: Pours amber with little head. Aroma was spiced pumpkin pie almost like the yankee candle. Little pumpkin flavor and really strong spice. Overall very smooth pumpkin ale.

On tap: Spice and light pumpkin in the aroma. Transparent amber with a small white head. Light spice in the fron with light pumpkin. Spice reallh comes on in the finish and becomes the dominate flavor.

Wonderful smell... outside lambics, this is the best smelling beer I have had. The flavor, like most fruit beers, does not do it justice, but it is not bad.

Light orange color, little head, not terribly cloudy. Aroma has lots of spice and a touch of malt. This is another heavily spiced pumpkin that concentrates more on spicing than it does on the rest of the beer. Has more body and slightly more malt profile than Buffalo Bills pumpkin, but still, the spicing makes for a dry almost astringent flavor, while there is little else to taste here than the spice.
