Pumking
Poured into a goblet (same as the Pumking goblet). The head is essentially white, creamy, and about a finger high. The head doesn't stick around long at all. Lace is minimal. Color of the beer is a nice orange-amber. The aroma is much different than any other pumpkin beer I've ever had. Pumpkin pie, allspice, banana bread, a strange fruitiness, pie crust, clove and nutmeg really dominate the aroma. There's also some cinnamon, brown sugar, and graham cracker. For some reason the smell just doesn't do much for me. Taste is alot like the aroma in that it just doesn't do much for me, but it is better than the aroma and above average. Lots of straight up pumpkin pie flavor, with banana bread, a bit of fruitiness, pie crust, clove, allspice, nutmeg some cinnamon and brown sugar. It's almost like a Belgian yeast pumpkin beer. I just really don't think it's that great. The consistency is creamy smooth. The carbonation is light-medium. Body is on the lighter side as well. Finish is average length. Overall I think this beer just has too much Pumpkin taste and aroma for me. I do enjoy pumpkin beers, but there can always be too much of a good thing. This pumpkin beer just doesn't really do it for me. I'd say it's really about average as far as the pumpkin beers go. Thanks so much to McNuts for this bottle! I really wanted to try this and am glad I got the chance to.
