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.

Draft. Pumpkin malt and ginger heavy pumpkin spices aroma. Clear copper with a small off-white head. Just like the nose, pumpkin malt and ginger heavy pumpkin spices flavor. LIght body, soft carbonation. Not a bad pumpkin beer.

Pour is a clear amber with a average white head. Aroma is pumpkin pie spices that remind me of Thanksgiving. Flavor is a decent pumpkin spice then after the swallow you get the tartness of the cranberry juice. Finish goes away quickly. This was decent but with Schlafly pumpkin coming out any time now I will not needs any of these other pumpkin beers.

Medium copper with a very light haze - fairly considerable, frothy lace - aroma is dry, with moderate nutmeg and all spice, toasty malt, pumpkin, and a mildly tart cranberry kick - medium body, moderate carbonation - moderately sweet and toasty malt makes way for mild spices through the middle, which are cut but a somewhat acidic finish and cranberry and lemongrass - the tanginess and acid add a nice counter to the spices, making this a pretty enjoyable and easy-drinking pumpkin beer.
