Wicked Harvest Imperial Pumpkin Ale
Starr Hill Brewery

From the pint can, it pours a hazy darker orange brown color with a nice light tan head that slowly reduces and leaves lacing. The nose gets some pumpkin and fall spices. The mouth follows with the same.

 

 

 

 

16oz can poured into a goblet

A- pours a deep amber-brown with a one-finger foamy off-white head that reduces to a thin film on top

S- malt-forward nose with aromas of caramel, brown sugar and dark bread. Underlying spice notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and maybe allspice. Hint of cola

T- malt and sweet up front, following the nose, with notes of caramel, brown sugar, doughy dark bread, raisins and prunes. Mid-palate gives spice notes, with cinnamon, clove and allspice sticking out. The finish gives more caramel, brown sugar and dark fruits. Light spice linger

M- medium-heavy body with medium carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that continues into a creamy, slightly boozy finish

A very good Pumpkin beer. Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass, this beer is a clear medium brown/amber color with a lot of reddish and golden light coming through when held to a light. There is a small bubbly white head with average retention and some lacing on the glass. Aroma and taste are good. This is a malty beer with plenty of pumpkin. The pumpkin spices are held to a minimum (a good thing). Mouthfeel is rich with a lot of malt and pumpkin with just enough spicing to keep it interesting without turning it into a pumpkin spices potpourri. This is a fairly strong beer and there is is a hint of alcohol warming here too. A very enjoyable seasonal beer.
