Well, well, well, folks! It's been a whole seven days into October, and I've committed the ultimate pumpkin beer enthusiast sin - no pumpkin beer review! But fear not, for today we embark on a pumpkin-infused journey with Bluewood Brewing's "Dancing With The Pumpkin King." This malty marvel boasts the harmonious union of pumpkin, spice, graham cracker, and vanilla, promising a tantalizing taste adventure!
First up, let's talk about that can. Picture this: a pumpkin-headed figure beneath a mysterious Pumpkin moon, engaged in a whimsical dance with what can only be described as a stitched doll. It's delightfully eerie and fun! Now, crack open that can, and in the initial whiff, you might not catch much. But give it a second go, and behold—a gentle caress of pumpkin spice in the air.
As you pour it into your glass, you'll encounter a medium brown elixir with just a hint of frothy head, as if teasing you with its mysteries.
Now, the main event—the taste! It's a delightful concoction of vanilla and pumpkin spice taking center stage, with pumpkin playing a more reserved role. It's there, no doubt, but it graciously shares the spotlight. Notes of malt add depth, and there's a creamy texture that'll leave you grinning from ear to ear. Hints of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice join the party, and there's even a whisper of graham cracker, though you might suspect it's in cahoots with the vanilla.
Ah, the finish—a grand finale! It bids adieu with a fond lingering of pumpkin goodness, a sweet memory on your taste buds that lingers just long enough.
So, what's the verdict, you ask? I bestow upon this brew a stellar 4.5 stars out of 5. It's a splendid sip, but oh, how I wish for a bit more "pumpkin-y" pizzazz to take center stage alongside the vanilla. Here's to dancing with the Pumpkin King! 🎃🕺🍻
