McAuslan Brewing

Pumpkin Ale·Canada·5% ABV·One of 40 Pumpkin Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share St-Ambroise Pumpkin Ale's caramel and spicy character. An autumn beer brewed once a year with pumpkin and a spice bill of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove over pale and caramel malt. The colour is deep amber; the aroma is all baking spice, with caramel and a squash-like sweetness underneath. The palate stays soft and lightly sweet, the spice carrying through to a gentle finish, and at 18 IBU the Cascade and Willamette hops stay in the background.
