The pumpkin spice latte is a coffee drink that was invented by an internationally known café chain and has achieved real cult status in recent years. As soon as the first leaf on a tree has a delicate yellow shimmer and the summer heat is softened by a gentle breeze, autumn feelings sprout. Pumpkins decorate house entrances, garlands of colorful leaves are hung in the windows, the first skeletons and gravestones in the front gardens announce Halloween and the glorious season of the pumpkin spice latte has begun. For those who are not familiar with this coffee preparation despite the hype, here is a brief explanation: A pumpkin spice latte is a milky coffee that has been given an autumnal touch with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, sugar and a topping of whipped cream. In most cases, pumpkin is not included at all; the name is derived from the spice mixture that is traditionally used in the United States to flavor pumpkin pie.
What’s Your Name (a humorous reference to the coffee chain that invented the PSL) is a beer from Orca Brau that pays tribute to the iconic hot drink. Their version of the PSL is an Imperial Smoothie IPA that tastes surprisingly similar to its role model thanks to the coffee, maple syrup, lactose, pumpkin puree and spices on the ingredients list. A crisp 8.5% alcohol content rounds off the unconventional beer experience with the cozy warmth of a freshly brewed coffee.
