Release Date

Brewed with 100 Apple Annie’s Bakeshop pumpkin pies in each batch, and their special spice blend!
Pumpkin is a dominant flavor, though it’s usually not overwhelmingly sweet. Instead, the pumpkin flavors are earthy, lightly spiced, and warm.
The malt base adds a bit of sweetness and bready notes, often resembling a mild caramel flavor, which rounds out the beer’s profile and gives it a smooth mouthfeel
It might have just enough hops to balance the sweetness, giving it a slight bitterness that keeps it from feeling overly sugary or cloying.
Overall, it’s a well-rounded beer that embraces pumpkin spice flavors with a medium body, making it a perfect choice for crisp autumn days.
