You've like tasted lot of it by now, so lets check out some pumpkin spice videos for TikTok Tuesday today. It's that time of the year when people go wild for the seasonal flavor.

I question, is it REALLY that good? Or perhaps it's just the fact that the window to enjoy the flavor is a brief one? I would suspect it's a little of both. I have a confession to make. Please don't judge me. However, I'm not wild about pumpkin spice.

I like how it smells. The individual components are nice. But that being said, I don't want to drink those flavors. I'll reserve them for desserts like muffins and of course pumpkin pie. Dairy Queen as a new pumpkin spice Blizzard. I could probably have a few bites of that. On the savory side, perhaps some pumpkin ravioli would do the trick.

Today, it's all about pumpkin spice videos for TikTok Tuesday. Here are the top five videos that crossed my social media feed this week. You don't have to subscribe to TikTok to enjoy the videos. I've already gone down the rabbit hole for all of us. Just click play, sit back and have fun. But if you are on the site, follow me here.

I know I said top five videos, but this one...I just could not resist. If you need a good laugh today. Here it is.

Here's more on that Left Hand Ale

Pumpkin Spice Latte Ale Is Here

If you like pumpkin spice and if you like ale and coffee, you will love this fabulous find. Pumpkin Spice Latte Ale is here and ready for some pop topping. It comes from Left Hand Brewing Co which is one of the country's leading nitro breweries. It's located in Colorado.

According to the brew masters, pumpkin spice fans have been requesting the company jump on the seasonal bandwagon for years. So for the fist time, Left Hand has released a pumpkin ale with spices and coffee. I mean everyone else is doing it, from Starbucks to Dairy Queen with their new Blizzard.

What is in the pumpkin spice latte ale

First of all, the nitro lends itself to the creamy, rich mouthfeel associated with a latte. We are off to a good start. Next on the to do list came the development of the much beloved seasonal spice. One that would mix well with the nitro and create that warm, comforting flavor that so many people love. The blend includes cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. Coffee is the next big element, a premium blend from Boulder-based Ozo Coffee. No artificial coffee flavors, but the real stuff  for a true latte taste.

On another seasonal note, Left Hand Brewing Co has also released an Oktoberfest Märzen Lager. I'll give you the scoop on that one later.

In full disclosure, I'm not a huge pumpkin spice fan. Don't judge. I DO love baking spices. mostly when they are in baked good. Oh, and also enjoy those notes when they occasionally surface in wine.

OK. Let's get started with this pumpkin spice latte ale tasting.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Ale is here and it's my latest fabulous find.

What kind of glass do you use?

I mean seriously. What kind of glass is best. It's a latte. But wait, it's still an ale. And yes your glassware makes a difference. The press release suggests using a goblet.

Frosty mug it is

With no goblet close by, the frosty mug wines by default. That nitro creates a fun fizzy sound when you pop the top.

So how is it? Pumpkin Spice fans will be in heaven. It has a creamy mouthfeel, but not over the top.  The ale gives a slightly bitter edge. The notes of coffee are prevalent throughout, mostly in the middle and finish.

If these are the things you like, make sure you grab some cans before they disappear.
