New Belgium Releases Voodoo Ranger Atomic Pumpkin

From New Belgium:

Saigon cinnamon & habanero peppers give VooDoo Ranger Atomic Pumpkin a kick. Find it now through October

Enough with the run-of-the-mill pumpkin beers. I’m not interested in an ale that takes cues from a frozen coffee drink, and neither are you. That’s why I made Atomic Pumpkin. Does it really feature Habanero peppers? Yep! What about Saigon Cinnamon? Ding! I round it all out with a hearty malt bill that makes for a spicy brew that puts the “Fun” back in Pumpkin. (Spelling was never my strength). -- Voodoo Ranger

Pumpkin pie with a lot of cinnamon, all spice and nutmeg, spicy red pepper-like aroma (chipotle, ancho and red hot candy) followed by some cherries and bready/cookie malt aroma.

FLAVOR

Starts with low sweetness and moves directly into a low bitterness and finishes with a very low sourness.

MOUTHFEEL

Spicy warming mouthfeel that builds in the back of the throat, lingering astringency with a slightly cloying sweet middle.
