585. Kismetic Beer Company (Indianapolis, IN) - Pumpkin Ale

“We started with sugar pie pumpkins that we roasted with a brown sugar simple syrup and a pumpkin spice blend. We added the roast pumpkin to a mash bill of Maris Otter, Munich, Caramunich, and Chocolate malts. Hopped with Magnum. Steeped with Tahitian, Madagascar, and Mexican vanilla beans, Ceylon cinnamon, and Penzey’s pumpkin pie spice blend. Rich, but balanced, aromas of spices and caramel, creamy with lingering, crisp finish.”

Nice balance of pumpkin and spice flavors up front, with some lingering vanilla and caramel on the back end. Like most of Ryan’s beer, this one is flavorful and complex at the same that it’s light and drinkable.
