Pumpion
Northgate Brewing

Pours a cloudy orange colour. Smells like pumpkin, brown sugar, cereal malt, a bit of ginger and cinnamon. Tastes like a pumpkin pie; pumpkin, cereal malt, nutmeg, allspice, well-carbonated, a little clove at the end.

Appearance: hazy, darkish amber-y hue, looking very pumpkinny, with a beige head, clinging on top.

Aroma: Cinnamon and nutmeg greet the nose, allspice, too. Pumpkin spices are in the lead, with lush malt behind.

Taste: Starting out hot and spicy, pumpkin pie spices staying on top and tingling the palate. Below is mostly malt. Stays wam, sweet and spicy. Minor hops, if at all. Very mellow on the tongue. Feels like an English brown ale underneath all the spice. We're getting the feeling of the pumpkin pie in a glass, without the meat of the gourd inside.

Maris Otter Pale Ale Malt. CaraMunich malt. White Wheat. UK First Gold Hops.
American Ale yeast. Spices.

It's a tasty one, and I'm digging it. One of the better pumpkin ales I've had recently.

 

 

 

Smells like pumpkin pie - good. Tastes like burnt, overspiced pumpkin pie - not so good. They claim there is an English Strong Ale under the spices, but can't tell at all.

 

L-Cloudy burnt orange colored...light head..

S-Not much here really...light all spice and cinnamon

T-Wow...it goes from under spiced on the aroma to overspiced on the taste....huge flavors of all-spice, cinnamon, and nutmeg I think....kind of tough to discern as it is just a loaded spice bomb....definitely cinnamon like flavor

M-Medium bodied but all the spices just overwhelm...almost like I took a brown ale and shook a shitload of spices into the glass and mixed it up...

O-This one needs some serious adjustments. I definitely would not buy again.
