Replacement Killer Pumpkin Ale
Locavore Beer Works

 

12oz can, canned on 10/7/2022

On the pour a nearlyn1 finger light tan head formed then quickly receded to a ring amd a few islands of bubbles. Body is a nearly clear, dark ruby red.

Aroma is spicy and sweet with big roasty pumpkin and a sweet sweet malt with some pumpkin spice.

Taste follows the aroma and is a lot smoother than a lot of pumpkin beers I've tried, and at this abv it's pretty impressive. Almost like a spicy sweet Irish Ale.

Feel is not too thick but very full bodied nonetheless. Actually has a decent level of attenuation and a light warming sensation without being overwhelming.

Overall this is impressive for a pumpkin beer. Still not my favorite style but this is a good example.

Being that I like pumpkin beers and I've been super impressed by many this brewery has to offer, I was very disappointed in this beer. It seemed to be out of balance. It was too sweet but too bitter at the same time. Bitter not from hops but from a poor use or unbalanced use of cinnamon and nutmeg. It was also very fleshy. Not that it was horrible, but it just wasn't up to par with what I like in a good pumpkin beer. So, if this is your first beer from them and also don't like, please try more of theirs.
