Our Pumpkin Ale’s earthy undertones lend a unique twist to this untraditional ale. Burnt orange in colour, this ale is a reflection of autumn’s changing landscape.

Granville Is 'The Pumpkining' @ 6.0% from the Black Note Book Series , served on *cask* @ GCBF'13&'14 , plus the 650 ml bottle purchased for $5.50
A-pours is light gold from the bottle to a clear amber/gold with a small off white head leaving minimal lacing along the pint
S-not a fragrant as some , but still a pleasant smell of nutmeg , cinnamon and cloves
T-a rich and robust start but a dry bitter clove finish is found in the bottle
MF-was a bit light and weak , mild/medium carbonation , light/ medium body , bit thin
Ov-ok beer , tasted so similar to the 'old' pumpkin ale , dissapointing it's not a new brew ,
just re-labelled

A: Slightly hazy copper appearance with minimal lacing.
S: Initial scents of cinnamon and cloves together with brown sugar. Definitely reminds me of pumpkin pie.
T: Malty with sweet graham crackers together with winter spices of cinnamon and cloves.
M: Medium bodied with nice level of carbonation.
O: This definitely brings the pumpkin pie smell and flavour, very drinkable ale.
