New Belgium Brewing ramps up for fall with Pumpkick Ale

Adding the unexpected kick of cranberries gives New Belgium Brewing Co.’s 2013 fall seasonal the kick it needs to take the traditional out of this pumpkin beer. Pumpkick Ale is brewed with plenty of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice, but it is the healthy dose of cranberries that will have you sipping for more.

“Tis the season for baked goods, so why fight it, just pair it,” said New Belgium’s Master Blender and Sensory Specialist, Lauren Salazar. “The cranberries absolutely make a difference in this beer and is another great example of how we’ve used our Belgian roots to give a traditional style a different dimension.”

The aroma is full of spicy pumpkin, with a hint of cranberry and even lemongrass – another unexpected, but delicious addition to the beer. New Belgium added some oats to cream up the mouth-feel and the finish is quick and dry. This fruity and malty sweet beer is complex, but not overwhelming and has a hefty dose of crisp tartness, making it a great complement to pumpkin pie this fall. It pours a rosy orange glow with light haze and cream-colored foam. Pumpkick is 6 percent ABV and 18 IBUs.
