One year ago, or so, on Halloween night the fine folks at Cambridge Brewing Company put a batch of their Great Pumpkin Ale in oak vats with some lovely brettanomyces and let the demons due their work.Fast forward almost one year and here I am sitting at the bar at CBC and I get the privilege of ordering this fine beer. It pours immediately cloudy, with a strong nose of all spice and funk. I can't quite describe funk, but when you smell it, you know it's funky. The immediate taste is that same funk sour with a ripe gourd and cinnamon and some other spices. The finish is all brett. As someone who loves sours, this beer is just bliss. In a world of much too sweet pumpkin beers this tart masterpiece is a much needed break. I'm definitely gonna have to make one more trip to CBC before it's gone.
