Ladies and gents, it's that time again - another pumpkin beer adventure awaits! Today, we're diving headfirst into the mysterious realm of "Forbidden Pumpkin" by Abomination Brewing, an Imperial Milkshake Style IPA (yes, you heard that right!). Hold onto your taste buds; this one's going to be a wild ride! 🎃🍺
Let's kick things off with the can itself—it's a sight to behold! Picture a mischievous trick-or-treater clutching a pumpkin head, while some eerily disembodied green arms give a nod to the beloved Frankenstein. Spooky and fun, all in one!
Now, let's talk about that tantalizing crack of the can. What's in the air? Well, it's a hoppy symphony, folks! This IPA is unabashedly hop-forward on the nose. As you pour it into your glass, you're met with a pale yellow elixir, crowned with a frothy head that only a (milkshake) mother could adore.
And now, the taste—brace yourselves! It's a captivating blend of milk sugar-infused milkshake and the boldness of an IPA, sprinkled with a dash of vanilla sweetness and a hint of tantalizing spices. Pumpkin? Not so much, my friends. But this IPA embraces its sweet, thick persona, with the can proudly proclaiming a concoction of pumpkin, spices, vanilla, and milk sugar. Alas, the pumpkin takes a back seat, but the spices and vanilla dance an intriguing duet on your palate.
As for the grand finale—the finish and aftertaste—it's a hoppy extravaganza! And now, the moment of judgment. I'm bestowing upon this brew a solid 3 stars out of 5. Why, you ask? Because it's darn good for a milkshake IPA, no doubt about it! But when it comes to claiming the title of a bona fide pumpkin beer, it falls just a tad short. Nevertheless, here's to sipping on the forbidden elixir and embracing the pumpkin spirit, in its own unique way! 🍂👻🍻
