COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This NW style sour old ale is no trick, it’s all treat. We smashed and triple roasted 50 lbs of pumpkin down to 6 lbs, then aged the beer for 11 months on the roasted pumpkin in rum barrels. The aromas of spiced rum, mingled with the soft notes of roasted pumpkin, are notice up front. Spice, roasted pumpkin and rum is followed by a soft warming from within. Be warned, you might get pumpkin smashed!

Bottle at Toronado SD. Clear amber small creamy off-white, good retention. Lots of sweet rum and brown sugar, some nutmeg and lotsa vanilla and melted butter, not diacetyl. Flavor adds a fair amount of booze, not near the 13.9 abv the barrel guy (Preston) claims. Sourness peaked at a 3ish, alcohol masked pretty well. Low carbonation , full body. Better than Pumking. I said it. Best pumpkin beer I’ve had. 9-4-9-4-18--4.4

On draught at Cascade Barrel House. Aroma of sweet tartness. Roasty pumpkin paired with nutmeg and light yeasty sourness. Spice finish.

I’m a big fan of pumpkin beers. I have sampled a large selection of pumpkin beer from across the US. When I saw they had a sour pumpkin beer I was a little wary. It was a happy shock when I had this beer. Slightly boozy, but not nearly enough to make you think it’s over 11%.

Tap @ Elysian’s GPBF 2012... Poured dark, rusty-ruby-red with little to no head. Nose had spices, rum soaked oak. Nice mouthfeel, full bodied and only a little drying towards the finish. Nots of pumpkin and spices, with big barrel notes and lactic acid for souring in the end. Finally, Cascade has made a new sour beer I enjoy. I have been in a rut with them lately.
