Commercial Description:
Pumking is an ode to Púca, a creature of Celtic folklore, who is both feared and respected by those who believe in it. Púca is said to waylay travelers throughout the night, tossing them on its back, and providing them the ride of their lives, from which they return forever changed. Brewed in the spirit of All Hallows Eve, a time of the year when spirits can make contact with the physical world and when magic is most potent. Pour Pumking into a goblet and allow it’s alluring spirit to overflow. As spicy aromas present themselves, let it’s deep copper color entrance you as your journey into this mystical brew has just begun. As the first drops touch your tongue a magical spell will bewitch your taste buds making it difficult to escape the Pumking.

Pours a clear honey amber with white head. Smells of cloves pumpkin and caramel. Flavor reminds me of a starbuck’s pumpkin latte. Body is light with little carbonation.

Absolutely the best pumkin beer I have ever tasted. Don’t pass this one up. Tasted like liquid pumkin pie. Score one for Phin and the crew! Can’t wait till next year to get some more.

Bottle thanks to zathrus13.Pours with a small, foamy, off-white head with a clear orange body. Aroma is sweet pumpkin pie and spices with everything but the whipped cream. Taste is sweet, nutty, nutmeg, pie crust, cinnamon, pumpkin pie, the taste even has a bit of the whipped cream that the nose is missing. The alcohol is well hidden. Water like mouthfeel, with medium amounts of carbonation. Would always welcome this in a trade around this time of year. Great stuff!!!

Jakebra crush. Aight, I have definitely had worse beers. That being said, not a fan of the Pumking. The smell is offensive at first, then you get used it, then it’s offensive again. Taste is pie crust, sourness, and dry dryness that leaves your tongue stuck to the roof of your mouth. Very disappointed.

[Tap] Pours a clear deep orange with a moderate off white head that dissipates gradually. Aroma is pumpkin, pie crust, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Flavor is a lot of pumpkin, a little spice, and a crusty type flavor. This beer goes waaaaay downhill after it gets warm, make sure it stays cold. Otherwise, a great beer.
