In a rare treat these days, I'm caught up enough that the beer of the week is actually going to be something I had in the last week. A fall star: Tröegs Master of Pumpkins
Description: This beer just tastes like fall. It has a tiny bit of sweetness, but definitely isn't sweet. There's pumpkin flavor in there and plenty of warming fall spices.
What you should know: This beer is actually made with each year's crop of local pumpkins, unlike most pumpkin beers, which are made with canned pumpkin (if there's even pumpkin in them at all). Because of that, it's released a bit later in the year than the other pumpkin stuff.
Recommendations: Find yourself a pumpkin beer this weekend that is not a sugar bomb. If you can't find this one, have the king instead.
