I've honestly had enough of waking up with a headache on a work day, so I decided to do the 22 oz Pomegranate in our final obligatory day session. Pours a clear amber with an off-white head. There's plenty of tart pomegranate in the flavor with some sweetness, but it has a surprisingly bitter finish. Not bad, but not my fave.
Beer: Southern Tier Pumking Ale

Slogan: "Long Live the King"
Not that I needed this imperial ale to follow the Pomegranate, but when the bar staff offered me the STBC Pumking in place of the kicked Magic Hat #9, it felt like Christmas day. I'd been eyeing that tap at the center of the bar for the last couple of weeks! Behold the gorgeousness that is the King. With its clear orange color and generous head that smells like pumpkin pie, this beer embodies everything that is Fall. The spices also make their presence known in the flavor, the most dominant being cinnamon and nutmeg. Substantial pumpkin flavor along with a bit of sweetness - great balance. I'm in love.
