Brewed in our small (3 bbl) Tangletown brewery. Brewed with Maris otter pale, Weyermann wheat, cara-Munich and cara-Vienne malts, with pumpkin in the mash, kettle and fermenter. Bittered with German Northern Brewer and finished with Czech Saaz. Unspiced but for the Weihenstephan Bavarian wheat beer yeast.

Tap at Falling Rock - pretty much nothing like a hefe or a pumpkin beer - I guess one you get past that, it isn’t terrible - some crisp, toasted grain character and a bit of earthiness, which I suppose is the pumpkin - some spicy, peppery notes and mild phenols - kind of boring, but refreshing - hard to believe that they used wehenstephaner yeast in this, though.

On draught at Falling Rock Tap House in Denver for the 2009 Elysian Pumpkinfest. The beer pours a lustrous orange-gold color with a thin off-white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Malt, pumpkin and yeast aromas. Medium body with flavors of pumpkin, tart fruit and yeast. Mild rubbing alcohol astringency in the background at times too. The finish is pumpkin and sweet spices with a yeast aftertaste. Decent overall.
