Pumking
I'm giving Pumpking the benefit of a doubt this year and re-reviewing it with somewhat better results. I still don't get the fuss, but overall, it is better than I remember it from last year. A-Ever so slighly veiled bright orange color with a small white head that settles quickly S-cinnamon, vanilla, and allspice. One reviewer remarked that it reminded him of a graham cracker, and that about sums it up. Interesting, but if you put this under someones nose blindfolded, they would not think it is a beer. I'm also not getting a lot of pumpkin here either. T-Creamy taste that mirrors the smell. Tastes less like pumpkin and more like a creamy dessert (and much like what I imagine their Creme Brulee tastes like) Mild hop and spice characteristics in the aftertaste M-Moderate and creamy with average carbonation. D-This is an interesting beer, but not a great pumpkin ale. Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin is far superior to this ale in most every way.
