The Pumking

Since it's October, I thought I should start this new blog with a very tasty pumpkin ale by Southern Tier called Pumking.

Drinkers beware, this beer's ABV% is 9% and part of Southern Tier's Imperial Series (Imperial because the beers have a high ABV%).

From the moment you open the beer and pour it into a glass, you get the aroma of a pumpkin pie that is coded with cinnamon, nutmeg, and whip cream. The taste is exactly that and with help from the yeast, you can taste what would be crust if this was a solid.

The mouthful or body, feels spectacular. The body is medium-heavy and just fills your mouth up with pumpkin flavor. There is little carbonation added so don't think the body is like a heavily carbonated soda. If you've had a heavy bodied beer, you will know what I'm talking about.

If you want to buy yourself a bottle, Canals sells this beer for 6.99 for a 22oz bottle.
