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.

A orange color beer with a small head. The aroma was so much like pie crust it is amazing. The taste is again a lot of pie crust with some pumpkin, but the pie crust being dominant. This is a pumpkin pie beer with more crust than filling & not a whole lot of sugar. Interesting, but this is a one time beer.

( 22oz bomber) pours clear rusty orange with nice oily bubbly head. Nose of butterscotch/popcorn, crisp hops and light spices. Taste of butterscotch, crisp hops, and acorn squash/butter and brown sugar. Finises like toasted malt and a creamy/syrupy finish.

Grabbed this for a beer tasting just for something different. Was pretty amazed. Tall glass of pumpkin pie. I even got the hint of whipped cream at the end. I couldn’t drink these in multiples, but great to share.

22oz - Dark gold liquid, off white head, nice lace. Pumpkin pie nose, a little doughy. Palate was pie in a glass, down to the whipped cream. Weird but cool.

Bottle, bought @ De Molen. Reddish orange color. Pumpkin, potatoe and mango in the aroma. Potatoe and pumpkin in the sweet, but also flowery and slightly perfumed flavor. Chichory bitterness in teh aftertaste. IMO is beer and pumpkin not a happy marriage.

Draft: Weak aroma of stale beer and nutmeg. Clear orange pour, medium cream colored head, good lace. Intense perfumey flavor of bready pumpkin and nutmeg. Filmy. Not my style, but it seems overly done. The balance of pumpkin and spice flavors is very good, I just think that both need to be dialed down a little. There is also a spicy bitterness that seems out of place as well.
