New Belgium Pumpkick

That's right people, it's time for IGB to start in on the Fall beers, including the pumpkin ales. Pretty average in appearance: coppery amber with a snow-white head, but above average in taste. Brewed with pumpkin juice, as well as some cranberry juice, providing a smooth balance between spiciness and tartness. There's also some cinnamon in there as well, evening out the other flavors with its friendly aroma. Behind the Fall flavors, there's some solid beer lurking in there, with some caramel malty sweetness, over and above the sweetness of the additions. This may make the cut for the Joyce Family Thanksgiving.
