Abomination Brewing – Forbidden Pumpkin Imperial Milkshake IPA
A cult favorite among fans of bold, adjunct-heavy IPAs, Forbidden Pumpkin pushes the boundaries of the style by combining a hazy Imperial Milkshake IPA with authentic fall flavors. Brewed with malted oats and flaked wheat, then double dry-hopped with Citra and Mosaic, it is fermented on real pumpkin, vanilla beans, pumpkin pie spices, and lactose (milk sugar). The result is an intensely creamy, full-bodied IPA bursting with tropical citrus hops layered alongside pumpkin pie, vanilla custard, cinnamon, and nutmeg. At 9.3% ABV, the alcohol is exceptionally well hidden beneath its rich, velvety mouthfeel.
