Yria Pumpking is a rich, evocative Autumn Seasonal Beer that captures the essence of a harvest festival. This Imperial Pumpkin Ale leads with a deep aromatic profile of warm cinnamon, aromatic clove, and earthy nutmeg, reminiscent of a freshly baked pumpkin pie. The use of bio pumpkins, slow-baked in a stone oven, imparts a subtle, caramelized sweetness and a velvety density to the malt base. At 7% ABV, it provides a gentle, supportive warmth that integrates seamlessly with flavors of toasted crust and brown sugar, finishing with a satisfying, lingering spice character that balances the malty sweetness.
Appearance.Deep copper to amber-orange with a slight haze. Topped by a persistent, creamy, off-white head with good lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity spices featuring distinct cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. A rich, bready malt background suggests toasted pie crust and caramel, with a very faint earthy pumpkin note and no detectable hop aroma.
Taste.Initial sweetness of toasted malt and caramel followed by a complex spice blend of cinnamon and clove. The stone-baked pumpkin adds a savory richness and a hint of earthy sweetness. Bitterness is low, allowing the spice and malt to dominate. The finish is long and warming, evocative of spiced squash and brown sugar.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, almost chewy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift, while the 7% alcohol adds a pleasant, well-integrated warmth without being hot.
