As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines for Gluten-Free Beer require every ingredient to be free of gluten and let ABV, IBU and color vary with the underlying style, judging entries on their own merits; the Pumpkin Spice Beer guideline it resembles calls for pumpkin or squash as an adjunct with spices such as cinnamon, allspice, clove and nutmeg in balance. The published pumpkin puree, spice blend and 6.1% ABV are consistent with both.
