Ambitious autumnal hybrid winningly obtains sugary rice-wined sake yeast for genuine ginger-spiced pumpkin pie sweetness (stimulated by ethyl 9% ABV lacquering). Subtle lemongrass and rose hips adjuncts add herbal nip to brown-sugared pumpkin pie heft as well as spiced sake minerality. On tap at Doherty’s (2016), sweet pumpkin pie spicing gained light butternut-squash earthiness to contrast brown-sugared gingerbread, cinnamon and nutmeg sprinkling.
