Twisted Gingers Brewing Co. "Gingers Love Pumpkins"
$5/16 fl. oz. can (without production codes or freshness dating) at the brewery on 9 December 2022
Notes via stream of consciousness: This beer is listed on their website as a pumpkin/yam beer at 7.2% ABV (the label reads 6.8%) and also states "This a fall favorite that combines our crisp saison recipe with all the pumpkin and spice notes for a balanced Fall Favorite!". It's poured a hazy deep copper colored body with golden and orange highlights beneath a thumb's width of rocky off-white foam. The aroma displays the expected pumpkin pie spices over a bready and lightly caramelish malt without being overdone. Somehow you can actually smell a bit of the Saison yeast which is kind of wild given that there are spices in there. On the other hand, maybe I'm just very in touch with saison yeast as I'm constantly brewing saison and thus smelling and tasting it on an almost daily basis. The flavor is much fuller than the aroma lets on, and it's sweet, bready, biscuity, caramelish, and spicy. Again, the spices are fully there but not overdone. I mainly get cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove but there must be some ginger in there, right? I also get the saison yeast character in the flavor with its peppery charm, floral character, and soft fruitiness of bruised apple, pear, and sweet berries. A moderate to median bitterness balances it in conjunction with the spice and it finishes dry and unsurprisingly spicy with some caramelish malt, earthiness, and leafy hops lingering. In the mouth it's medium bodied and somewhat dextrinous, and a fine-bubbled, moderate but effervescent carbonation lends a light tingle to the tongue before it warms to become creamy smooth. The head held up really well, and the lacing is very good but not great. Although a lot of people consider pumpkin beer as a Halloween/Fall beer I think this perfectly suits the season (for me at least) as it's now quite cold outside and just 15 days from Christmas. Would Santa like one of these left out for him along with some cookies? Yes he would!
