This is a seasonal offering from Southern Tier. It is an imperial version of a pumpkin beer.
It pours an orangey gold color with a tight head of foam. The pumpkin shows in the nose to the point that I could not smell any hop. The pumpkin is strong in the taste all the way through from the front to the back. I find it to be very sticky sweet on the back side to the point of being too much so. I may have it slightly warmer that 40 degrees which may change the sweetness level.
From the bottle comes this information. It is a hefty 9% ABV. They used 2 row pale and caramel malts. The kettle hops are magnum and the aroma are sterling.
For my usual hockey twist I would say that this beer is like a questionable stick. I would only use it in a pick up game and not a league game.
