Great Pumpkin

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to copper hue with a SRM of 20, presenting excellent clarity. A rich, tan head forms readily and maintains good retention, with visible lacing left behind on the glass as you drink. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a smooth, inviting visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced baking spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice—layered over roasted pumpkin seed notes that ground the profile in savory depth. Behind these lies a clean, malty backbone of pale and Munich malts with subtle caramel undertones. The spice-forward character is well-balanced, never sharp, and invites multiple inhalations.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with full, bready maltiness accented by clove and allspice that carry through the mid-palate with refined presence. Caramel sweetness and nutty grain flavors build depth, supported by the roasted pumpkin character woven throughout. The 24 IBUs provide gentle, measured bitterness that frames rather than dominates, allowing the spice and malt to remain the focal points.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and lingering, with the spice notes gradually receding while a pleasant roasted, slightly nutty warmth persists. At 8.4% ABV, the alcohol integrates cleanly without heat, leaving a dry, satisfying conclusion.
