If you are a fan of pumpkins and beer, that this is the perfect blend for you.
Pumpkin. The one gourd that finds itself in high demand these days. You don’t see alot of squash or zucchini beers. But just tossing pumpkin into your brew doesn’t make it a pumpkin beer. That’s beer with pumpkin thrown into it. Weyerbacher has crafted an Imperial Pumpkin Ale that may be the best pumpkin beer that I have had so far.
This beer just looks great in a glass. A nice ruby/red color, clear body clarity with medium carbonation. The head size is large and foamy and it dissipated slowly throughout the tasting.
The aroma of this ale is intoxicating. I pick up a sweet pumpkin and clove that goes so well together. The taste of this beer is complex. It is a big beer that has a great pumpkin taste that is complemented with hints of cinnamon spice. There is also a great malt taste to it that marries well with the pumpkin. On the finish, there is a slight alcohol taste but that pumpkin shines through. This beer is autumn in a glass.
ABV = 8.0%
