Scotch Irish Perry’s Atomic Punkin

Formerly brewed at Heritage Brewing Limited
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Carleton Place, Canada

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!

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

Cask @ Volo Cask Days 2007: Pumpkin colour .. haha .. and no head provided. I was surprised to find so much actual pumpkin in the aroma, leaving those "pumpkin pie spices" to take a bit of a backseat. That said you can definitely pull out the ginger and clove alongside some hops. The flavour also took a leaning on the pumpkin side, leaving the spices to take the backseat, and it was interesting. I’m not a huge pumpkin fan so perhaps it’s not for me, but I’d also say this is a far better representation of the style than those other locals who dump a bag of spice in and call it a pumpkin ale. Beware the alcohol, she’ll sneak up on ya..

[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.

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.
