Our Pumpkin Lager is one of the few pumpkin lagers available in the world. Real pumpkin and pie spice join Munich and caramel malts in our brewhouse, then lager for four weeks in our cellar, and come together with all the flavors of a lush pumpkin pie. Available August–October.

Cloudy gold pour with a khaki head and fair retention. No lacing. Flat mouthfeel. Light cinnamon and nutmeg spice flavors up front with a mellow finish. Easy drinking. Nothing great, nothing bad. Repeatable.

Growler from Lakefront. Filtered amber-orange-brown body. Thin white head. Big pumpkin and spice tones. Smooth, easy body. Quite fresh and well executed, the lager notes are smooth even if they are smothered in pumpkin pie tones. Good.

Bottle shared @ ChrisO after GBBF Day 2. Clear orange golden color, small off-white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, loads of pumpkin and cinnamon, (Dutch) "peperkoek" lichtjes, maar vooral die fucking cinnamon irriteert mateloos. Gadverdamme zeg! Bleh!

12 oz. bottle, thanks to Jason. Pours orangish brown, with a small, beige ring. Strong biscuit dough and pumpkin spice, with some good actual pumpkin aromas. Sweet and malty, light savory spice, but no bitterness to speak of. Light to medium body, creamy, smooth, and easy. This is a simple and straightforward pumpkin beer, but solid, well made, and delicious.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, best before 12/25/2015. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy orange/amber color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. light spotty lacing clings down the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, brown sugar, toasted bread, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of pumpkin/spices and dark/bready malt notes; with decent strength. Taste of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, brown sugar, toasted bread, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Light herbal/spice bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, brown sugar, toasted bread, and herbal/toasted earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Good balance and solid robustness of pumpkin/spices and dark/bready malt flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness after the finish; and very clean on lager flavors with zero yeast ester notes present. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, and lightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish. Overall this is a good pumpkin lager style. All around good balance and solid robustness of pumpkin/spices and dark/bready malt flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and clean to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

bottle - This is a decent pumpkin beer with some good spice character. I did pick up some grainy alcohol in the flavor which I didn’t expect at only 5.4% but it wasn’t too bad. Light to medium body. Mildly sweet.
