Serving Type: BottleABV: 6.3 percent
Appearance: Country Pumpkin poured a light amber color with some vivid orange hues on the outside portions in the body. A half-inch wide head crowned the top and faded into just a thinner layer of white foam. This rescinded to a white ring about a third of the way into this drink. The lacing that was left on the inside of the glass was a bit above average, though. I couldn't notice much carbonation, but there was what I thought was to be a few specks of sediment.
Smell: Spice clean-up in aisle five. There was a potent scent of spices in this, but that was about it. The ones I noticed were cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. I love getting a beer with nutmeg (or in anything for that matter) as it acts as a sweeter and mellow compliment.
Taste: I mainly felt the tingle from the spice content in this. Still, the spices were too close to the front of my tongue for my liking and seemed to drown out any pumpkin flavor that was present if at all. There was a small bite of hops on the finish. I wasn't left completely disappointed, though. The aftertaste surprisingly had some pumpkin flavor in it.
Overall Rating:
This was an alright drink. I was a bit confused at times, but came out somewhat pleased with it in the end. The spice bill on this is a bit much, but I've had pumpkin brews that are completely ruined by too much of them and this was a good bit tastier than most of the brews that hail in that neck of the woods.
