McAuslan Spiced Pumpkin/ St-Ambroise Citrouille

Brewed by McAuslan Brewing
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Montreal, Canada

Bottle shared with mds, HogTownHarry, blankboy and tupalev - mds’s bottle. Dark copper-amber colour. Fantastic pumpkin pie aroma - clove, nutmeg, allspice - yum! Flavour is malty and spicy, with tingly clove notes coming through in the finish. Very good!

Bottle courtesy of Mr.V: Poured a clear light brown color ale with a medium foamy head with average retention. Aroma of canella and nutmeg and nutmeg is quite intense. Taste is also dominated by some canella and nutmeg as well as some light cloves notes (I could not notice any ginger even thought label mention it as one ingredient). Body is about average with some average carbonation. I don’t remember the previous version that was brewed years ago to contain that much spices but this was quite enjoyable nonetheless.

Bottle. Copper body with a white creamy head. Smooth and creamy, shit tonnes of pumpkin and toasted malts. a touch watery, plenty of cinnamon vegetal spice. Smooth body - it’s not overwhelming and it’s a bit straightforward as pumpkin ales generally are. But it’s hard to argue considering how drinkable this stuff is.

341 ml bottle courtesy of a trtade with Boutip. Pours a mostly clear coppery orange with a large linen white head that lingered until mid-glass and left a few large patches of foam. Pleasant aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The flavor is pumpkin, wax beans, cinnamon and nutmeg and tastes a bit watered down. Light bodied. An ok pumpkin beer.

pours ruby brown with a skin of white. strong clove nose. cinnamon is apparent also with a sweetness. tastes better than walt looksbut not as good as a sweaty embrace from lump. allspice or nutmeg is really strong at first with a minty clove finish. nice caramel slightly wheaty backbone flavor i’d love to try this beer without the spice, but a bit more ascertive hop. could be a good session. a nice spice beer that i’d happily drink again. thanks, paul. 4 5 6 3 13

Dark amber color, with a beige head, nice toasty, spicy nose with an intense spiciness of cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread and cloves, with a caramelized pumpkin pie aroma follows through on a medium-palate with a toasted, caramelized malt and a good spiced character of christmas spices, like nutmeg, cinnamon, gingerbread, clove, with a faint malt graininess, some sweet pumpkin flavors, leading towards a malty, spicy, fruity, faint hop bitterness finish.
