2018 Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal winner! This Pumpkin is hot, and it knows it. Gordgeous is a well-balanced pumpkin ale using over 50 lbs. of pumpkin and 42 lbs. of brown sugar for every batch! Our spice blend is not the typical for pumpkin beers, either. We use whole-seed spices cracked at the brewery on brew day which include allspice, cardamom, cloves and freshly shaved whole ginger root.

Taster at Tap It, in Indian Land, SC. It pours a clear, deep reddish color with a small white head and fair retention. Fair lacing. There's a light spice aroma, but not really a pumpkin beer spice aroma. The taste follows the nose: It's more of a spiced ale than it is a pumpkin ale. It has a little cinnamon and maybe some nutmeg, but it's definitely different than your standard pumpkin ale. That said, I like it. It's very smooth and easy drinking, and a little different than your typical pumpkin beer. Medium-light body. Very, very low carbonation, and low bitterness.

Draft at the source. Clear deep amber brown color, bright white edge head. Aroma of pumpkin pie spice and nutella in a nice combo. Taste us spiced creme brulee and light cocoa. Nice.

A hazed reddish orange ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, nice nutty malt with light spices, nutmeg and faint hops. In mouth, a smooth sweet caramel malt with good mix of nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and molasses, very nice.
