About

Flying Dog's The Gourd Standard is an amber-hued IPA where pumpkin and spices take centre stage. This seasonal brew merges the hoppy backbone of an India Pale Ale with cinnamon, nutmeg and warming spice notes. Brewed with Hallertau Hersbrucker hops, pumpkin puree and a blend of autumn spices. The aroma leads with warm spice—cinnamon and nutmeg are prominent. On the palate, toasted malt meets pumpkin character with pronounced spice, while hop bitterness remains restrained. The finish turns dry and bitter, with lingering nutmeg notes and a medium-to-full body.
