Boulevard "Funky Pumpkin" Spiced Sour Ale

I'm a big fan of sour ales and I'm a big fan of sour ales, but I believe that this is the first combination that I have sampled. The color isn't much different than your standard amber, perhaps with a tad more orange than usual. The pumpkin pie spice comes through in the aroma right off, and is nicely balanced by the tartness of the ale itself. Cinnamon and nutmeg predominate in the spice mix, with a little ginger as well. There's apple and pear as it warms up, adding a nice crisp touch. IGB recommends for the Autumn Beer Season.
