What’s that bite of tartness doing in a pumpkin beer? Adding the unexpected kick of cranberry juice to brighten this traditionally spiced seasonal ale. Pumpkick is brewed with plenty of pumpkin juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, but it's the cranberries and touch of lemongrass that send your taste buds sailing.

Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home while watching Bears vs. Packers after a 5 mile run on a gorgeous late September afternoon. Appearance is a bright light cloudy golden orange/brown with a rich frothy white head and considerable carbonation. Aroma is very fresh, nice nutmeg and cinnamon notes, as well as light tart from the cranberries. Taste is very unqiue, interesting mixture of pumpkin and cranberry, I can see this being a quintessential Thanksgiving beer. Would have again.

12oz bottle pours out a nice copper topped with a white head. Nose is full of pumpkin spice, nutmeg, and some sweetness. Taste is as the nose with more of the spice notes and less of the pumpkin. Lots of cinnamon and nutmeg.

12oz bottle pours with a clear gold body that has copper hues and supports an off white head. The aroma has lots of pumpkin pie spices and then an inviting degree of pumpkin, and a bit of cracker. The taste is similar with pumpkin pie spices, some fairly deep pumpkin meat like flavors mixing with a grounding malty sweetness. Beneath those notes is a bit of graham cracker pie crust goodness. Nice. This is smooth as well as fairly rich and balanced.

Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a hazy medium orange with minimal head. Aroma of pumpkin pie spices with a hint of cranberry. Taste is light tart. Cranberry starts then immediately into the pumpkin pie spices. Full bodied with a thicker than expected texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. I would drink this again.

On Tap at Brewforia Beer market, Meridian, ID Slightly hazy golden orange, witha lasting creamy off-white head. Soft sweet malty aroma. Light toast with carmel and brown sugar. Sweet light malt flavor, a bit of pumpkin but not overly spiced. Plenty of residual sugars. Very low IBU. Sweet and tasty

12oz bottle picked up at Total Beverage
Pours clear golden with a small white head and some lacing. Aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon and spices. Tastes the same, lots of pumpkin and spices
For as much pumpkin spices in the aroma it isn’t bad.
