Scotch Irish Perry’s Atomic Punkin

Had it atVolo cask Days 2007. Great pumpkin spice aroma and JUST the right amount of pumpkin flavor to keep me wanting more.

[764-20071020] Cask @ Volo Cask Days 2007 (Toronto, ON). Super ginger aroma with atomic oxo cubes. Slightly hazy, amber brown body with no head. Spicy nutmeg and ginger flavour has a bit of bread crust. Medium-full body is smooth. Better cold, reminds me of a pumpkin pie-like mix.

Volo Cask Days 2007 Spicey pumpkin filling nose, hazy, brownish/orange. Flavour is pumpkin all the way(were many pumpkin pies pureed for this?) Medium bodied, very well balanced, spicey, great mouthfeel, a lavish texture. Terrific! Well done again Perry!

Orange-brown in colour, very thin beige coloured head ring around the glass, very still looking, no lacing. The aroma was of pumpkins, some bread, lots of spice - nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves. The flavour is an almost repeat of the aroma, it’s like drinking a freshly baked pumpkin pie. Mildly sweet mouthfeel, thinnish body, mild carbonation. Finishes long with some light spice. I liked how the pumpkin and the spices balanced each other out. Fairly warming actually, the perfect early fall beer.

Cask at <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=1632 target=blank>Volo in Toronto, Ontario on October 20, 2007.

Cask at Volo Cask Days 2007. Dark orange-amber with a small head. Aroma is sweet, spicy (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove) with fresh pumpkin and hops. Flavour has a hint of pumpkin off the top, followed by a prominent spiciness, some wood and lemon, and a warm, herbal finish. Pretty nice stuff.

Cask. Orange-copper body with a still white ring of head. The aroma is very spicey with lots of cinnamon, ginger, and pumpkin. Tastes pretty good - biscuity, with tonnes of pleasant spices, and oranges. I noted some pumpkin but it wasn’t really the dominant flavour. This stuff was very smooth and drinkable.

Cask. At Volo Casks Days ’07. Hazy orange-copper pour, average head. Aroma of caramel malt and fresh pumpkin, always nice to smell a pumpkin beer that isn’t just pie spices ... also had mild cinnamon/nutmeg spiciness and some dry hops ... smelled like a "Belgian" yeast, but what do I know about that stuff? The taste was simpler than the aroma, more bitter, pungent spice, less of the vegetalbe pumpkin character, had a nice herbal finish. I found the body quite thick, not much carbonation but who cares - and a long pungent dry spicy finish. Very very good, it paled a little as I’d had the Southern Tier Pumking the day before, but better than the other Ontario Pumpkins, that’s for sure.

Spicy, yeasty and quite strong. Heavy, sometimes overwhelming body is backed up by herbal hop notes and woody flavours. Alcohol is noticeable.
