Commercial Description:
I add pumpkin in the mash of this light amber ale, then steep our secret blend of spices to the brew kettle to remind you of grandma’s favorite pumpkin pie recipe. A perfect ale for harvest time in Minnesota.

<i>Autumn Brew Review 2008.</i> Gold color with a thin head. Aroma of... pumpkin. Just pumpkin. Light flavor of roasted pumpkin, along with a little graininess. It’s like a lighter version of Pumpking, and that’s not a bad thing.

ABR 2008. A medium quality pumpkin beer. Thin palate. Standard pumpkin beer spices with nutmeg and cinnamon. Light malt. Drinkable enough.

On draught during the ABR ’08 in Minneapolis, MN. Pours a clear golden amber brew with a thick off-white head that even has some excellent retention and lacing. Aroma of mostly light pumpkin pie filling with nutmeg and a touch of clove. Taste is light to medium bodied, some light carbonation with flavors of mostly light pumpkin pie filling, nutmeg and even a touch of almond marzipan. Finish has a slight spice bite instead of a hop bite that made this some stand out to most other pumpkin beers.
