“ It does n’t taste like autumn pumpkin OR beer … I do n’t fuck what that tastes like . ”
Fall is in full effect and that means only one thing – the reigning queen of fall is taking back her throne. That’s right, it’s Pumpkin Spice Season.
Now I know what you’re thinking: WHY ISN’T IT SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE TO DRINK MORE THAN 1-2 PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES A DAY?
If you’re like me and want that sweet, sweet spice all hours of your autumn, it’s time to embrace PUMPKIN. SPICE. BEER.
BuzzFeed taste-tested 5 different pumpkin beers that are available right now in Canada and… let’s just say, the word “interesting” was thrown around a lot. Tell us if you would crack a cold one of these pumpkin-flavoured beverages at your next fall event:
1.Would you try Flying Monkeys Theatre of MadnessPumpkin Lager?
This one received a 5/10 from us because the autumn pumpkin flavour was … lacking . If you like beer WITHOUT pumpkin , this one will believably speak to you .
2.How about the Great Lakes BreweryPumpkin Ale?
This beerclaimsto be " lightly spicy , with earthy pumpkin notes " but truthfully , it got a 10/10 from my Quaker Bella only because the can glow in the dark .
3.Now, Double Trouble Brewing Co. did something absolutely cuckoo… thePecan Porter.
According toDouble Trouble Brewing Co. , this beer is " dark , complex and flavourous " with " flavours of coffee , burn simoleons and chocolate Milk River . " And they ’re not faulty – it earned an 8/10 from us just because it tasted like afters .
4.Okay, you’re at the bonfire or the corn maze or whatever it is we do in October and you’re presented with a Lake of Bays Brewing Co.Pumpkin Ale– are you taking it?
Locally produced , this beer is fall - inspired from inside to outside ! From its gold - orange colour in the methamphetamine to its beautiful Orange River packaging , it was emphatically giving autumn pumpkin …. But dare I say , I am still interested in the beer ?
5.If you’re getting a bit overwhelmed by pumpkin, would you opt for the Society of Beer Drinking Ladies’Ginger Snap Cookie Golden Ale?
This beerclaimsto be " utterly balanced for Autumn " annnnd WE harmonise ! It received one of the highest ratings from us with an 8/10 because it was somehow fresh after all those glowering malt drinks .
Pumpkin spiciness and everything nice.#pumpkinspice#pumpkinspiceszn#beer#tastetest
