I like it better than most pumkin brews, a little bit pricey.

Served cool from 500ml bottle into straight pint glass.

L) Attractive copper colour, clear, 1cm dense off-white head that fades quickly to a thin film.

S) English hops and a bit of musty spice.

T) Tasty malt flavour, tangy English hops as expected. Pumpkin element is very mild and not much of a 'pumpkin spice' taste but it is there if you look for it. For the weak ABV it is actually quite tasty.

F) Easy drinking, quite fizzy, no aftertastes.

O) Decent little beer, but don't expect an American-type pumpkin ale.

500ml bottle from Morrisons (£1):
A pretty disappointing beer despite the beer starting okay with a nice enough looking body & an okay smell; it was still better than the bottle of Forest Fruits from the brewery I tried some time back but only just. It seemed weak & uninteresting with too much bitterness; the only plus was that it was on special & I didn't pay full price.

Pours a nice mahogony with a reasonable head that dissipated quickly. Nose is full caramel malt and a hint of...not pumpkin...but more like stale Indian food spices. Maybe it is stale cumin? Taste is...not good. Astringent, not much malt, not much flavor, metallic. Too much carbonation accentuates the sharpness.

This beer was highly recommended and was a complete letdown. Having consumed a large amount of pumpkin brews this was surprisingly horrible. Looked amazing with a dark amber/orange body with a decent white head with gorgeous lacing. Nose was pungent of pumpkin spice/other spice without any further backing. Taste was where the letdown really hit as the only taste I got was tons of spice with a watery finishing. Overall I would consider this an extremely overrated pumpkin beer that should be avoided unless curiosity killed the cat or you are offered it at a gathering.
