Pumpkin Ale

◎ Aussehen

Medium amber to copper in color, displaying good clarity with a fine, persistent head. The carbonation is moderate and even, with visible bubbles rising steadily through the glass. Lacing adheres well to the sides, suggesting body and malt presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent seasonal spices—cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg—layered over a gentle caramel sweetness. Beneath the spice profile, soft malt character and hints of vanilla emerge, reminiscent of baked autumn desserts. The overall impression is warm and inviting, without sharp or dominating single notes.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and approachable, with real pumpkin character melding into warming spice notes across the palate. Mid-palate develops a gentle caramel sweetness with subtle nutty undertones and a touch of vanilla that echoes the nose. Bitterness remains restrained at 28 IBU, allowing the malt and adjunct profile to dominate without sharp edges.

◑ Abgang

The finish is slightly sweet and lingering, leaving traces of cinnamon and nutmeg on the palate. The aftertaste recalls homemade pumpkin pie, with soft malt backbone supporting the spice without becoming cloying.
