day 303-Beer 303 Jumpin Jack India Pale Ale, Tree Brewing Co. Kelowna British Columbia

Its Halloween and what better way to celebrate than with a pumpkin and I am not fond of pumpkin pie so its a pumpkin beer. This one combines a traditional IPA and a pumpkin ale. The colour is dark amber/orange with nice head that leave some very sticky lacing that clings to the glass as you drink this brew. The aroma has some faint notes of pumpkin pie, nutmeg cinnamon and all that junk along with some caramel malts and citrus/grapefruit hops. The taste surprisingly is very nice, floral and citrus hops with some clove and other spices, the nutmeg is not noticeable, a good thing and  just a slight hint of pumpkin. It has a sweet background of caramel malts along with a peppery zest and some citrus/grapefruit and pine hop bitterness to finish the brew. I truly enjoyed this brew which is amazing considering I do not fancy pumpkin pie. 3.8 out of 5. Have a ghoulish night.
