Ready
to find out the winner of the blind pumpkin beer tasting? This post will reveal the
winner by counting down the top 5 pumpkin beers as ranked by our tasters.
Beer
#6, ranking 4th in our tasting: New Belgium Pumpkick. Tasters noted
that this beer was one of the more spicy ones - it really did have a kick, true to its name - but remained light.
Beers
#7 & #8: Tying for third place in our tasting was Southern Tier Pumking and
Aleworks Pumpkin Ale. Pumking featured spicy, sweet, and slightly malty notes,
while tasters enjoyed Pumpkin Ale’s slight hoppiness and sweetness, balanced with
just a touch of spice.
Beer
#9, in 2nd place: Ithaca Beer Company Country Pumpkin. Tasters noted
that this beer was light, sweet, and balanced nicely with spices.
And,
the winner of the pumpkin beer tasting: Devils Backbone Pumpkin Hunter – how fitting
that the winner is a beer brewed right in DC’s backyard! Beating the 2nd
place beer by over 5 points, tasters loved Pumpkin Hunter’s sweetness, touch of
hops, hint of spice, and the fact that the beer wasn't too heavy.
What
is your favorite pumpkin beer and why? Let us know in the comments!
