This Pumpkin Ale pours a golden hue reminiscent of a ripe pumpkin with a ominous foggy white head. The nose, forever nostalgic of the holiday season, encapsulates the natural aroma of pumpkin spice with a slight hint of caramel. The dominant pumpkin spice flavor is accompanied by the slightly smokey flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg. Don’t be ashamed to enjoy it with a flavor complimenting cinnamon sugar rim. This is perhaps the best autumn seasonal beer I have tasted and one of the best I have encountered in general. Pumking speaks for the passion with which Southern Tier conceptualizes and executes the brewing of great beers.

Take a whiff of this complex ale and your journey has just begun. At first sip, a magical spell will bewitch your taste buds, yet another victim enraptured by the Pumking. ABV 8.6%
