Our friend Shelah, from Om Brew Yoga, came back with another guest review! You might recognize from her yoga classes at a few of our local breweries.  Here's what she thought of Weyerbacher's Imperial Pumpkin Ale....

I am one of those crazy people that really doesn’t like the pumpkin hype that occurs each and every fall. I don’t do Starbucks Pumpkin Lattes. I don’t run out and get my fill of pumpkin spice donuts and I certainly don’t hoard a plethora of pumpkin flavored beer. I do however, look forward to Weyerbacher’s Imperial Pumpkin Ale coming out each year.

This is a novelty beer for me. It’s listed as a spice/herb/vegetable beer according to the BJCP guidelines. A rich dark amber color with a heavy cream colored head greets you from the first pour. The sweet aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg are very prevalent on the nose rather than an overpowering of pumpkin – which is probably why this one appeals to my taste buds over the other pumpkin heavy beers out there. The flavors are not nearly as prominent to me as the aromas are however, the flavor is certainly reminiscent of fall goodness. Rather than being actual pumpkin heavy, this one is loaded with pumpkin pie spice  and clove. It warms you, hugs you and makes you want to grab your favorite sweater….even in South Florida.

Weyerbacher Brewing made me a happy girl with this one by creating this seasonal brew to appeal to those of us who aren’t caught up in the pumpkin hype. Great fall beer in my opinion.
Namaste.
