Weyerbacher - Imperial Pumpkin Ale

“Ale brewed with pumpkin and spices cinamon, nutmeg, cardomon and cloves.” Sounds good, sounds strong. Here we go.

Look: Reddy brown beer. Very little head, didn’t stay or lace.

Aroma: Smells a bit vegetative, with lots of pumpkin spice.

Taste: Tastes a lot like pumpkin, which sounds dumb to say for a pumpkin ale, but they don’t usually taste like pumpkin, in the way that pumpkin lattes are just pumpkin spice lattes. Not sure that’s a good thing.

Mouthfeel: Very light carbonation and overall quite dry.

Weyerbacher - Imperial Pumpkin Ale

Overall: Hides the booze really well. Not sure it’s a pumpkin beer I’d reach for again, but perfectly drinkable. Sadly though, it’s a bit average. 2.5/5
