I thought is should do one more beer from Tampa Bay's
Cigar City Brewing, a wonderful brewery and taproom i visited last week. It may be a little out of season, but their Good Gourd Imperial Pumpkin Ale (on nitro no less) was as amazing a pumpkin brew as i've ever had. Creamy and thick and 9.4% ABV, the beer was a beautiful dark brownish amber with a tremendous frothy head. It was probably one of the prettiest beers i've ever seen. Aromas of pumpkin and nutmeg spices were prevalent and not overpowering on the tongue. Combined with some strong alcohol notes, the Good Gourd should not be nearly as smooth as it is. I would love to have another.
Visit the
brewer.
