Pumking
22-oz bottle poured into pint glasses. A = Quite light but very orange, clear liquid, very small white head that quickly resolves into light foam and bubbles over about half of the surface. S = Smells like a slice of carrot cake, I get light hints of pumpkin, but mostly I get vanilla, cinnamon and carrot, perhaps a bit of ginger bread is in there, too. T = This is a bit too sweet for my tastes and as with the smell, I get much more of a sense of carrot cake and ginger bread than I do of pumpkin pie. It's very flavorful, but maybe a little overpowering. I suspect making it an imperial and perhaps some underattenuation lead to the aspects I do not like. I love sweet beers, too, but this just isn't what I am looking for in a pumpkin ale. It is good though, I really cannot bring myself to say it's bad. M = Medium-heavy body, fair mouthcoating. D = Gets a little too cloying, too quickly to really rank high on the drinkability index for me.
