The Great Pumpkin
Elysian Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

 

Pours hazy honey orange with a short white head, minimal lacing. Aroma is pumpkin pie spices. Flavor follows the nose. What is amazing is that not only does it taste like pumpkin pie, but I also feel like I can taste the whipped cream topping. Feel is medium bodied with light carbonation. Overall, a fine pumpkin ale.

Poured from a bottle

Appearance - Amber brown body with very minimal head that disappears to nothing quickly.
Smell - Pumpkin right away, brown sugar and faint cinnamon. Not pretentious and overpowering but very enjoyable.
Taste - Milder than the aroma, but very nice. Pumpkin up front, slight barley on the end. Malts and spices mixed in between.
Feel - Medium body and carbonation
Overall - Enjoyable pumpkin beer. Nothing outrageously special but nothing bad about it either.

Aroma is fruit, allspice/spices and almost sour/slight funk. The flavor is fruit, nutty malts and an allspice/bread/slight cinnamon/mildly sweet finish.

 

 

 

 

Liquid pumpkin pie with smell and flavor exactly in line with the label description: pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Heavier body than I expected but very nice glean finish. Score is only diminished by the suspended solids, but at least the label warns that they might be present.

 

Wow, this pumpkin elysian 12 pack continues to impress. 2nd beer and this one packs a punch while also being extremely well balanced. Pours pale amber and smell is pumpkin cinnamon, nutmeg and caramel. What scent! Screams autumn. Mouth feel may be a bit thin but makes it more sessionable. High abv so be careful. Can't go wrong with this beer.

Aroma is practically nonexistent, faint pumpkin spice. The body is pretty much solely pumpkin with some spice baking it up. Satisfying body, very spiced and nice carbonation. Yup, it's pumpkin.

 

 

 

One of the best beers I have had. Well balanced and not too strong on the flavors. Will buy again and again. Tastes like a pumpkin with the right combination of spices.
