Tap to rate

An amber-coloured American pumpkin ale of 6.3%, brewed with pumpkin purée and spiced with cinnamon, star anise and nutmeg: caramel and the spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg set the tone. It was developed with Gia, the first woman the sisters met who also brews as a hobby. They met on a trip to Mexico, where she was a Spanish teacher in the US, and invited her to Amsterdam.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent warming spice—cinnamon and nutmeg lead, followed by subtle clove undertones. Behind the spice emerges a caramel sweetness from the Malz base, with faint pumpkin purée adding earthiness without dominating. A trace of fruitiness rounds the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Spiced warmth dominates the palate immediately, with cinnamon and nutmeg providing structure without harshness. Caramel and a light nuttiness build in the mid-palate, balancing the spice and contributing body. The bitterness remains restrained at 12 IBU, allowing the adjunct character to shine while maintaining drinkability and subtle fruit notes in the background.
