Grizzly Paw Jack OLantern Pumpkin Ale

Brewed by Grizzly Paw Brewing Company
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Canmore, Canada

On tap at brewpub. Was expecting a dark beer, but it was golden with a minimal head. Had the expected pumpkin pie spice notes with some pumpkin fruit showing as well. Flavour was sweet with caramel malt, nutmeg and sweet pumpkin. Some grains in the aftertaste.

Served on tap at Hop In Brew. Called the brewery for more information and was told that in the "Big City" they call it a pumpkin pie in a glass and serve it with a shot of 7-Up for sweetness, a dollop of whip cream and sprinkle of nutmeg. This was not done with the pint I had. No head. Aroma of pumpkin and cinnamon. Flavour was at first a shock. After that the malt held up. Flavour was similar to the aroma but with a strong hint of peppermint in the finish.
