A bit of a fizzy, thin white head on an unexpectedly light and transparent ginger ale-like body. The nose features brown sugar, cloves and nutmeg. A very nice pumpkin ale, with enough pumpkin, cloves and nutmeg to easily earn the name. The malt is bready on one level, but I do taste some seasonal pie crust as well! A hint of citrus hops livens up the taste profile. Light bodied but very flavourful. Nice balances. A great beer at the price!

Aromas of pumpkin spices, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and a touch of malt. Flavor is much of the same, putting this side by side with the st ambroise i’m finding them very very similar, but this one seems a tad more full bodied, and have a little less of a thin flavor profile.

I’ve been meaning to try this one for AGES! Great Lakes Pumpkin Ale 5.5% Gold with a touch of orange color and thin light beige foam. Cinnamon and nutmeg aroma. Medium bodied with a bit of a scratchy carbonation. The taste is spices then pumpkin pie like pumpkin flesh. My Uncle says this is the best pumpkin brew in Ontario. I’ve not tried enough to say but it’s a damn good example of the style.

This pumpkin ale poured a slightly cloudy, medium amber colour with a creamy, bright white head. Minimal lacing. Scents include pumpkin, allspice and nutmeg. First swig was a little thin and sweet with flavours of pumpkin pie, orange peel and a little hop. Finish is mildly bitter with pumpkin pie flavour lingering.

TASTE: distinctive spice flavours (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg). no hop flavours but with a balanced bitterness that lingers towards the end. finishes with a note of cinnamon. PALATE: medium body with a velvety palate. moderate to moderate-low carbonation. no astringency. OVERALL: a great vegetable and spices balanced ale.
