Commercial Description:
A twist on an American Pale Ale, roasted pumpkin seed kernels are added to the final boil and “dry hopped” in the keg. The roasted earthy notes of the kernels compliment the Marris otter malt and yet act as a counterpoint to the bitterness of the hops. Marry with roasted or barbeque chicken, ribs or steak, squash, or okra.

Pours an orange copper color with a white head. Aroma is caramel, nutty, toasty, roast, and some floral notes. Flavor is malty, caramel, nutty, toasty, roast, and a nice floral finish.

Tap at the brewery. Apparently the end of a batch. The body was dark amber. The pumpkin seed dominated the aroma was some roast and nuttiness. The taste was pumpkin seeds with some light grapefruit. An interesting brew, especially surprising is now little pumpkin seed it takes to add that character.

on tap. Pours a cloudy copper with a nice white head. The aroma is quite strong with definite nutmeg, subtle pumpkin, some citrusy/lemony hops. The mouth is slightly sticky with a nice clean caramel backbone. The nutmeg comes out in the finish and light lemony hops ring throughout the drink. This is surprisingly good for the style. It cuts the difference between being overly spiced or bland. And thanks to the hoppy character, this still tastes like real beer.

Cask. Very hazy dark amber color with a thin off-white head. Some grapefruit hop aroma mixed with malt and mild pumpkin in the aroma. the flavor had a light maltiness with citrus grapefruit flavors that went to the finish. Light bitterness and semi-dry finish.
