St-Ambroise Pumpkin Ale

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber color with bright clarity and a fine, tan head that clings to the glass with moderate persistence. The body presents a warm, honey-tinged hue that speaks to the pale and caramel malt base. Carbonation is gentle and steady, appropriate for a smooth, sessionable autumn brew.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced baking spices—cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove build a warm, peppery character that dominates the profile. Beneath the spice lies a caramel sweetness and a subtle pumpkin squash note that grounds the composition. The Cascade and Willamette hops contribute only a whisper of herbal restraint in the background.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is soft and lightly sweet on entry, with the spice bill moving front and center across the mid-palate—clove and cinnamon especially prominent. Malty, bread-like notes weave through the sweetness, while the 18 IBU bittering keeps the composition balanced without asserting drying tannins. The finish carries the spice through gently, with a lingering caramel warmth.

◑ Abgang

A gentle, medium-length finish with spice and caramel warmth fading gradually. No harsh edges or astringency—the aftertaste remains mildly sweet and bready, inviting another sip.
