Pours a clear gold with a short lived off white head and a constant rise of carbonated bubbles. The aroma has notes of butterscotch, baking spice, and corn. The flavor of this ale is unique, with notes of pumpkin, caramel, and cream corn, I'm not kidding. This brew is corny. Pumpking has a buttery body, giving this brew occasional flavor hints of buttered pop corn. Also has hints of fall spices. Mild carbonated body with a silky nutmeg finish. Alcohol content is wickedly masked (8.6% ABV), an obvious sign of the dark Pagan brewing magic explained on the bottle. This brew is the most dessert tasting of all the pumpkin ales I've had. It’s certainly different with the variety of corn flavors and the big buttery body. It’s good, but in a very strange way.
If the Great Pumpkin comes knocking on a cold autumn night, why not try offering him a pint of Southern Tier's Pumking, and then run for your life after you realize you've just offered him a glass of ale that has been fermented with his children.
