Well I'll be brewing Midwest's Pumpkin Ale kit soon. I know it's late in the season but I'm not rushing it. The wife is in the mood for some so I thought I'd make a batch.
Anyway, looking over the recipe, it calls for 1oz of Mt. Hood for 60min and 1oz of Cascade for 2min. Shouldn't that be the other way around? I wouldn't expect late Cascades to mix well with the pumpkin pie flavors.
I'd think the spicy Mt. Hood would mesh much better than the citrusy/floral Cascades. On the other hand, that recipe is one of Midwest's highest rated and the reviews really don't mention issues with the hops.
Can anyone who has done this recipe chime in with their experience?
