Get ready for a taste adventure with Great Divide, hailing from the heart of Denver, Colorado, presenting their aptly named "Pumpkin Ale." But before we dive into the flavor, let's talk about that can—oh, it's a beauty! Picture the headless horseman, gripping his fiery pumpkin noggin aloft while galloping on his dark steed beneath a mesmerizing mountain backdrop kissed by a glorious sunset sky.
Now, when you pop that can, don't expect a grand aromatic overture. Instead, it's a sly, almost mischievous whisper of pumpkin that greets your nose. No bold spices, no overwhelming vanilla—just a subtle, tantalizing "hint" of pumpkin in the air. But wait until you pour it into a glass; that's where the magic unfolds. Behold a dark, enchanting ale with a frothy crown that's both medium-sized and healthy.
The taste is a pumpkin-driven spectacle, with whispers of coriander and allspice adding intrigue. These spices, while present, graciously yield the stage to the star of the show—the pumpkin, which bursts onto your palate in true cinematic fashion.
Now, let's talk texture. It's a velvety smooth operator, nearly creamy, and it glides down your throat with the grace of a seasoned performer. Delicious? Absolutely! But does it claim the coveted title of my all-time favorite? Well, not quite. I'd award this brew a solid 4 stars out of 5. It's a pumpkin party in a glass that's definitely worth a try! 🎃🍺
