Crafter's 'Pumpkin Ale' is a unique sort of beer which you do not see very often in the Croatian craft beer scene. As you can see from its name, backed by its ingredients, it has pumpkins combined with various spices like clove and cinnamon, which is an unusual mixture not seen in your every day drink.
It pours an orange/red color with a thick white creamy head. The ABV( alcohol level) is 5,5% which suits this light bodied beer. You can feel the aroma of bread with notes of pumpkin and cinnamon in a combination with pepper like spices. As for the taste, you would expect a stronger sensation of pumpkin, but it is replaced with a balanced taste of orange and peach. It has a consistent taste of malt which dominates while drinking and does not leave traces of bitterness. Personally, I like this beer. It's great, smooth and light and has a very interesting taste.
This is certainly a crafty innovation for Croatian craft beer and certainly looking forward to see more of these combinations!
