Pumpkin Spice Latte Nitro

Tap to rate

A brewers' blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice meets pumpkin and coffee, with caramel sweetness from toasted malts. Oats and lactose add richness and body, and the nitro head recalls latte foam. A golden-orange pumpkin ale at 7.0 % ABV, it joins Left Hand's nitro line in widget cans in August and September.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Pumpkin Spice Latte Nitro

◎ Appearance

A bright golden-orange hue dominates the glass, with excellent clarity and an inviting translucency. The nitrogen-infused head settles into a dense, creamy foam that clings persistently to the glass walls, creating fine lacing with each sip. The fine bubble structure from the widget technology imparts a silky visual character.

◌ Aroma

Warm baking spices lead immediately—cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice interweave with roasted coffee notes and toasted malt sweetness. The aromatic profile leans toward dessert and breakfast pastry rather than aggressive seasoning, with a subtle caramel undertone that softens the spice. No harsh phenolic edges; the overall impression is balanced and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is creamy and velvety, driven by oats and lactose that coat the palate with a latte-like mouthfeel. Mid-palate reveals layered spicing—cinnamon and nutmeg predominate—alongside roasted coffee and subtle caramel sweetness from toasted malts. Bitterness remains restrained at 24 IBU, allowing malt sweetness and coffee character to prevail; the finish dries gradually rather than abruptly.

◑ Finish

The finish extends with lingering warmth, driven by residual spice and malt sweetness rather than hop bitterness or drying astringency. Roasted coffee and caramel notes fade slowly, leaving a clean, lightly sweet aftertaste that encourages another sip.
