Weyermann Pumpkin Ale

Tap to rate

An orange autumn ale brewed with 15 % pumpkin and spiced with cinnamon, clove, allspice and ginger. The nose smells clearly of cinnamon, clove and pumpkin. The flavour mixes pumpkin and spice against a mild, earthy bitterness with a stone-fruit edge from English Fuggle and its American descendant Willamette. The body stays slim, and the finish has an almost peppery heat from allspice and ginger. Sold as an "alcoholic malt beverage"; the brewery pairs it with a Thanksgiving turkey dinner.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and slightly sweet from the pumpkin character, transitioning to a mid-palate where cinnamon and allspice integrate with mild, earthy bitterness. The Fuggle and Willamette contribute subtle stone-fruit notes that anchor the spice without allowing it to dominate; the slim body keeps the overall impression clean and refreshing rather than heavy.
