DATE: October 27, 2018... OCCASION: a washed-out soccer Saturday becomes a cleaning day--and a Penn State/Iowa clash... GLASSWARE: Wychwood pint... pours a beautiful, fall-tinted amber brown body, clear and rife with bubbles like today's falling leaves... its head is creamy, thin and off-white out of a day-old, sealed growler... rich, toasted bread malts intensely weigh on the nose, with cinnamon, pumpkin, and a blanket of brown hops... spices mingle with a bit of dank chestnut--more than I expected from a 5.2% ABV... creamy, smooth, effervescent, and mild... sessionable and pleasant... its flavor profile is like a sweet brown, with pumpkin and cinnamon spicing up the package.... again, this is sneaky good, and the first I have had from Defiant...

Pours clear, brownish orange, with minimal head. Taste is bread, pale malt, mineral, and faint cinnamon and nutmeg. The pumpkin spice is subtle. The base beer seems like a decent English pale. Overall, I like my pumpkin beers to be a bit more pumpkin forward. This is a pass for the future for me.
