Oso Brew Co. “Smashing Pumpkin Ale”
33 cl can without production codes or freshness dating
Notes via stream of consciousness: The name is good but the label could be better. It’s brewed with pumpkin, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Upon opening the can the beer rose out and I could smell the spices but now I have almost a full glass of foam ~ apparently there’s been a little bit of extra fermentation going on, and I should have known that as the can itself felt very hard. Once settled it’s a very hazy deep copper, almost brown, beneath a full head of off-white foam. The aroma is bright with soft cinnamon and ginger, and some bruised apple. The taste is yeasty, which is distracting. The malt is sweetish, bready, and caramelish. The spices are not overdone at all, and I actually now find the nutmeg clearly with the cinnamon and ginger trailing. It’s medium bodied and crisp although I think that there’s probably a little bit more to the carbonation now than when it went into the can. As a professional brewer I can step back and look at this beer as it should have been, not as it currently is, and it would have been quite nice. These beers are often over-spiced but that’s not the case, and the balance between malt, spice, and a moderate bitterness is good.
