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.

On tap at the brewery 5/31/08: Pours a transparent bronze with a stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of toasty grainy pumpkin seeds and lightly sweet malts. Body starts semi-sweet toasty and grainy with some earthy bitterness. A smooth, unique and enjoyable brew.

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.

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.

2008 Southern Brewers Fest . Cask. Amber pour. Creamy light tan head. Bitter, nutty aroma. Smells like "green", untoasted malt. Flavor of bitter hops, bold malt. Slight notes of spearmint in the distance. (Having to search for tasting notes for this beer). Kinda forgettable. Finishes with a deep tannin bitterness, too much for an American Pale Ale.

Cask. Dark amber body with an off-white head. A bit of spice in the aroma with a solid malt backing and support from the hops. The hops could come forward a bit in this brew, but overall the flavors are well balanced. The pumpkin seeds add a complexity, but it’s not what one would expect from the name. Interesting brew.

An orange brown pour with a slightly off white head. A spicy roasted malt aroma. A flavor of the spice. A good balance between the malt and hops. It seemed pretty hoppy for the style which wasn’t a bad thing. It had a really decent hops bitter on the finish. I liked this beer.

An amber appearance. A slight pumpkin aroma with some perfume, lemons, and oranges. The flavor is quite bitter with some lemons and oranges showing in the flavor. Good to keep warm while drinking this outside last night.
