New Belgium Holiday Ale

Enough with the run-of-the-mill pumpkin beers. I'm not interested in an ale that takes cues from a frozen coffee drink, and neither are you. That's why I made Atomic Pumpkin. Does it really feature Habanero peppers? Yep! What about Saigon Cinnamon? Ding! I round it all out with a hearty malt bill that makes for a spicy brew that puts the "Fun" back in Pumpkin. (Spelling was never my strength). -- Voodoo Ranger Bright pale amber color with light particulate and light white lacing. Pumpkin pie with a lot of cinnamon, all spice and nutmeg, spicy red pepper-like aroma (chipotle, ancho and red hot candy) followed by some cherries and bready/cookie malt aroma. Starts with low sweetness and moves directly into a low bitterness and finishes with a very low sourness. Spicy warming mouthfeel that builds in the back of the throat, lingering astringency with a slightly cloying sweet middle. Medium body.
