244/1225) Home:  Pumpkin Ale by Black Creek Historic Brewery at Black Creek Pioneer Village:  **;   5%;  brewed authentically, with no carbonation and unfiltered hence there is a bit of yeast sediment on bottom;  brewed Oct 17;  subtle pumpkin nose with spice;  full sweet pumpkin flavours; purchased in a two litre growler;

I tried this side by side with the "mass produced" version, brewed by Trafalgar in Oakville and the version available at the LCBO is more one dimensional - it is spiced, but there is not so much pumpkin as the one I bought on site.  What pumpkin there is doesn't taste as fresh and there is an artificial sweetness to it as well.

I have listed this as new since brewed at Black Creek Pioneer Village and not contracted out.
