Pumpkin King
Spicy Citrus Pumpkin Ale.
We're turning Hallowe’en inside out and upside down. Pumpkin King is not your usual unctuous, cloyingly sweet Hallowe’en pumpkin ale. Sure, there’s a huge heady hit of pungent spice on the nose, but it’s followed with bright and zesty citrus flavours, and a light mouthfeel. Spicy and sweet autumnal favourites like toasted marshmallow and toffee apple are just some of the complex notes you’ll find in our twisted take on a pumpkin ale, which weighs in at 5.4% ABV.

Experiment with the spice addition to find the correct balance to suit your taste. FYI star anise is a very strong flavour.
