Lady Pumpkin is an inviting Autumn Seasonal Beer that captures the essence of harvest in a glass. This amber-hued ale features pumpkin baked with brown sugar, creating a rich, caramelized foundation. The sensory profile is dominated by a festive bouquet of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg, which harmonize with a malty backbone of toasted bread and biscuit. On the palate, the sweetness of the brown sugar is balanced by a subtle spice-driven heat, leading into a smooth, lingering finish evocative of Bourbon vanilla. It is a soft, comforting ale with restrained bitterness and a velvety, approachable character.
Appearance.Luminous medium amber to copper with distinct orange highlights; clear clarity with a creamy, off-white head that shows moderate persistence and light lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity of warm spices featuring prominent cinnamon, ginger, and clove; supported by a base of caramel and toasted malt with a sweet, brown sugar undertone and a delicate vanilla accent.
Taste.Initial malty sweetness yields to a complex array of baked pumpkin and spice flavors; ginger and nutmeg provide a light zest, while the brown sugar and vanilla create a dessert-like character without being cloying; finishes clean with a lingering vanilla and spice aftertaste and very low hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, almost creamy texture; moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift; very low alcohol warmth and zero astringency.
