Pumking
I have wanted to try Pumking for a while and bought it in a growler. Had a sample at the store. The color was a rusty orange with an off-white head that lasted only briefly. The scent is what may entice people to try this beer. Super pumpkin pie spice on the nose and it matches the taste. All too often the scent of a beer does not correlate with the taste of the beer. This one does. As mentioned, loads of pumpkin pie spice, warm and roasty nutty flavors with a hint of vanilla? You definitely feel the ABV at play here. It is a drinkable beer for the ABV (9.0%), but can that can sneak up on you. The mouthfeel is surprisingly pleasant. All together and Southern Tier has put together a heavy weight pumpkin ale that I'd buy again without hesitation.
