Made with Styrian Dana hops and infused with real pumpkin, the new ale is our first bitter specifically brewed for Halloween and offers a real autumnal flavour. With a burnt, smoky character, balanced with light citrus flavours, Pumpkin Ale has a lingering bitter finish. It’s also made with three types of malt – standard, crystal rye and black malts.

27/11/2019. Cask at BOD, Stoke-on-Trent. Pours clear dark amber with a creamy lasting off-white head. Aroma of sweet pumpkin, pumpkin pie, slight sulphur, biscuit, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Medium sweetness and light bitterness. Medium body, slight oily and watery texture, soft carbonation. I am slightly biased as I really like pumpkin pie, so did quite enjoy this.

Dark brown color with a tan head. Looks ok. Decent intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Tad sweet. Toffee, fruity and some spices in the flavor. A bit to warm and flat for my likings. Could have been nice.

Gravity cask at the Birmingham CAMRA Beer Festival 2015. Poured a clear medium to dark brown with a thin broken white head. The aroma is light sweet malt, some pumpkin but not a lot. The flavour is light bitter sweet with a crisp, fresh light pumpkin light woody hop palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask at the Monk’s Retreat (JDW), Reading. Brown with a moderate cream head and a surprisingly lively fizz for a cask ale. Strong toffee aroma is rather appealing. Toffee and malt dominates throughout, and although the mouthfeel is a little thin, the flavour is rich throughout. Not sure about the pumpkin, but there seems to be some cinnamon and chocolate coming through. And, bizarrely, some roast beef. And brown sauce. Quite liked this, although felt oddly guilty for doing so. On a blind tasting I would have classified it as a brown ale. Some crackly Autumn leaves and leaf mulch completed what was quite an interesting beer.

On gravity at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol, October 2013. Reddish-amber with a slight, off-white head. Sweetish, malty bitter, with some berry fruits, touch of roast and some caramel, before a moderately bitter finish. Couldn’t detect any pumpkin.
