Pumpkin Pie Pale Ale

My brewing buddy and I have been brewing for about a year now and decided it's time to get a wee bit seasonal.

I scoured the internet and some brewing cook-books and culled the best and what seemed to be a do-able recipe.

We used the Pale Ale kit from our local brewshop The Oak Barrel and added the following:
2 cans 100% Pure Pumpkin (no additives)
4 Tbsp Trader Joe's Pumpkin Pie Spices

Oh that boiling wort smelled like a yummy dessert. The fermenting brew smelled awesome. On bottling night the golden orange liquid was beautiful. Even without any carbonation we could tell we made something good.

The cases are conditioning under the kitchen sink until Friday when I can chill and enjoy! I can't wait to see if we made a winner.

Come on over for a brew!

Next batch might be a chocolate espresso stout. Or do you have a suggestion?
