Southern Star Cygourd

I feel like there are not a lot of Texas breweries that do pumpkin ales, so when i find one that does, i tend to jump on it.  And so i enjoyed some libations from Southern Star Brewing out in Conroe, Texas over the weekend with their delicious Cygourd.  The 6.3% ABV pumpkin ale pours an amberish brown with a white, quickly dissipating head and smells of the usual suspects: nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, clove, allspice, and pumpkin of course.  Some pumpkin ales go heavy on the pumpkin and some go heavy on the spices.  Cygourd splits it right down the middle, an even smattering of both pumpkin and pumpkin spices in light bodied and easy drinking brew, with the spice lingering a bit on the tongue.  Great stuff and just in time for the season.
