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.

Cask at the Beehive - Brixton’s #1 Spoonies. Pours clear amber with a foamy white head. This is a very basic bitter with little to no ’pumpkin’ character; there are vague and very faint autumnal spices but beyond that this is just a bitter - and a mediocre one at that. Anyway, there’s some bread, leafy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Bland finish with mild brown bread and dirty leaves. Wholly uninspiring.

Cask at the beehive brixton. Slight Hazed brown amber pour lasting fades to a halo off white head. Aroma is light pumpkin slight tart oxidised malt. Flavour is brown sugar caramel and light pumpkin pie spice, touch of nutmeg. Everything is in balance. But could be more explicit.

Cask handpull at The Knights Templar London. Clear brown lasting beige head. Well it’s not much of an American pumpkin ale. Slight spice. Other than that rather dull and boring. Ok. But not for me
