Twisted Pine Modern Day Pine-eer

the brewers added over 500 pounds of pumpkin into the mash as well as the kettle, where a mixture of fresh-milled spices joined Pilgrim and Columbus hops in the boil. The ale colors the glass like fossilized amber topped with a silky, persistent head of eggnog hue. Aromatic sprays of allspice, clove and baked pumpkin mingle with sharp, earthy bitter notes from the Columbus hops and stimulate the nostrils while the mouth salivates, awaiting the first sip. Once through the lips, Modern Day Pine-eer hugs the palate, embraced in turn by each set of taste buds. In keeping with the India-style way, the beer is drier than most of its peers, though the mouthfeel is remarkably firm and the finish crisp, but lingering.
