Beer of the Week

The beer: Devious Imperial Pumpkin

The brewery: Fegley's Brew Works, Pittston, Pennsylvania

Description (from Untappd): "Amber-hued and expertly brewed with real pumpkin, pale, Munich, and caramel malts, this ale pours a frothy dark ruby color with enchanting aromas of pumpkin pie, spiced cookies, and nutmeg. A harmonious blend of ginger, cinnamon, clove, and allspice balances natural pumpkin sweetness, revealing rich undertones of toffee, squash, and clove. Finished with unique notes of spiced pumpkin seeds and blood orange marmalade, this full-bodied ale offers a sophisticated and delightful taste of the season, crafted with unmatched passion and quality."

Would I buy it again? I'm not sure this is what they meant when they named this beer "devious," but the taste profile of this beer is surprisingly restrained. I was expecting an explosion of flavors, but this beer is surprisingly drinkable and moderate on the pumpkin flavor. Not light, definitely not, but you can take a big swig and not be completely overwhelmed. But while I like this beer, I didn't buy an expensive imperial ale for a moderate amount of pumpkin and malt. So I would probably pass on this in the future.
