- Tasting Notes
- Nice pumpkin spice flavor. Medium mouthfeel. A definite annual brew from here on out!
This turned out very well. Best of all, no pumpkin was harmed in the brewing of this ale. I got the idea after the brewmaster at Lunar Brewing told me he got tired of the mess and hassle of using pumpkin in the mash. So one year, he decided to add just the spices. He theorized, "That's all you taste when you eat a pumkin pie anyway. The pumpkin itself really hasn't got much flavor!"
I brought what was left of my last corny to a party rdwj hosted. There was probably around three gallons in it. It got good reviews, even from non-homebrewers and a few women. We emptied the keg in about an hour! Here it is:
