Pumpkinhead N/A

United States·Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer
Tap to rate

The alcohol-free take on Pumpkinhead: brewed that way from the start with traditional methods rather than by removing alcohol later. It captures the original's fall flavor and subtle sweetness, with a proprietary pumpkin spice blend on top. Willamette and Saphir are the hops, pale ale, whole wheat and light Munich malts the grain bill. A non-alcoholic wheat ale for a fall favorite.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Pumpkinhead N/A

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a hazy, clouded body that speaks to the wheat malt and suspended yeast. The head forms quickly and persists with fine, delicate lacing. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, befitting a refreshing non-alcoholic wheat ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent warming spice—cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove from the proprietary pumpkin spice blend—layered over a soft wheat grain sweetness. Noble hops (Willamette and Saphir) contribute gentle herbal and floral notes in the background, while light Munich malt adds a delicate bready undertone without heaviness.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and gently sweet, with the pumpkin spice blend front and center—a balanced warmth that doesn't overwhelm. The mid-palate shows wheat malt character with a subtle malty sweetness, while noble hops provide a low, refined bitterness (14 IBU) that grounds the palate without sharpness. The finish remains clean and lightly refreshing, with spice lingering softly.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is brief and clean, with residual pumpkin spice warmth fading into a dry, refreshing close. No harsh drying or astringency.

Serve at 5–8°C

Serve cold at 7–10°C. The hazy wheat base and fresh yeast character shine when the beer is crisp and cold.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within 4–6 months. Wheat beers are designed to be fresh — the yeast character diminishes with age.
