Recently I was able to try the illusive Pumking Imperial Pumpkin Ale by Southern Tier Brewing Company. This beer, while plentiful in bottles is quite rare on tap. I was lucky enough to try it for the first time at Bacchus Bar and Restaurant in New Paltz NY. I was also able to find it on tap at my local beer distributor.
I love pumpkin beers, but what I've found is that most don't taste enough like pumpkin or the flavor is too strong which results in the beer being a little overpowering. Pumking is the exception. This beer has a strong pumpkin flavor, while still tasting natural and not overly sweet. It accomplishes this without relying too much on spices and other flavors. This beer is light and crisp but has the flavor of a darker beer.
I highly recommend this beer for beer lovers and new beer drinkers.
4/5
