This beer uses a very cool recipe of grains that includes oats, biscuit malt and a very dark crystal malt that gives the beer its unique burnt-orange hue. We then use 100% pure American pumpkin puree and brown sugar right in the boil kettle. Coupled with nutmeg and our special touch of Saigon Cinnamon (think "Big Red" chewing gum) we create a pumpkin pie flavor. With a lingering kiss of real vanilla beans for dry hopping, we deem this beer ready only when the vanilla gives its special character to the finished beer.
