Bottle: Clear, bubbled, coppery-gold with a faint ring. Aroma is a bit cidery, apple...yeast. Taste is sweet, not much pumpkin, more apple and brown sugar, really. Ok, but not very biting or sour.

Bottle from Appellation Wines (it was the last one sorry!) Appearance - amber/orange with a nice fluffy head. Nose - funky, vegetal, savoury generally. Taste - pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon perhaps? Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet dry tangy texture and a dry finish. Overall - you start with a pumpkin with the intentions of making a beer. It’s a difficult order, so not the worst attempt.

Weird addition to the range of compromized Timmermans ’lambics’ probably aimed at the American pumpkin ale market; stable, moussy, egg-white head, orange blonde with strong fizz, lightly hazy. Aroma has only very limited lambic properties, vague wheat, sherry and woody notes, but overpowered by pumpkin ale spices (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger), ’speculoos’, apple juice and iron; sweetish taste, almost softly cider-like, pumpkin flavouring apparent but softly so, bit metallic, thin body, even a bit watery in the end, with soft pumpkin and pumpkin ale spiciness. I was hoping for a true ’oud’ lambic beer with only actual pumpkin (and pumpkin ale spices perhaps), but this is again a diluted, sweetened beer stripped of most of its lambic character. Another hyper-commercial John Martin flub, if you ask me.

Tart spicy nose, not real strong, allspice, persimmon, bread. Clear amber, thick head with little retention. Tart currant, apple, allspice. Light body, moderate carbonation. Exceedingly unique, tastefully done, not as gimmicky as I expected. Surprisingly good.
