Jack’s Pumpkin Spice Ale
Jack’s Pumpkin Spice Ale is a seasonal offering that actually tastes like a micro-brew even though it comes from big brewer Anheuser-Busch. Perhaps the flavor comes from the Oregon-grown Golden Delicious pumpkins the company advertises are included in the brewing process.
“For adults who’ve never tried a pumpkin beer before, we’d encourage them to experiment with Jack’s,” said Florian Kuplent, brewmaster, Anheuser-Busch, Inc. “Because the pumpkin and spice flavors are so well-balanced and subtle, Jack’s doesn’t overpower foods and makes for an ideal culinary experience. Year after year this is one of our favorite beers to brew and we hope beer drinkers who enjoy trying new flavors will sample this seasonal ale.”
The brew is available in stores around the country through November, allowing it to capitalize on both Halloween parties and Thanksgiving feasts. The brewers advise that it tastes best in a “tall fluted glass” which creates the best environment for its spicy aromas. Another option would be to have a pumpkin beer tasting, as more pumpkin beers seem to join the market each fall.
