Poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-murky amber to orange color with a quickly dissipating finger's worth of white foamy head. Lace was semi-stringy and sliding.
The aroma had a nice blend of allspice, ginger and cinnamon playing with some pumpkin flesh, biscuits, earthiness and a light herbal scent.
The flavor presented the pumpkin sweetness in and around the cinnamon and allspice, but the ginger seemed way scaled back to barely show much presence. Light aftertaste of biscuits, pumpkin and allspice.
The mouthfeel was almost medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt on par. Finish was somewhat pumpkin-ish with some allspice and earthiness.
Overall, yes, that's a pretty good pumpkin ale that I could have again.

Given blind.
The beer comes in a deep clear amber color.
The aroma offers hints of earthy pumpkin spice and cinnamon, but mostly dominated by breadiness, sweet caramel malts.
The flavor follows with mostly that malty sweetness, caramel flavors, with touch of the Cascade hop bittnerness on the finish. The mouthfeel is rounded and smooth from the pumpkin addition, but the spices are severely lacking as the beer drinks towards an under hopped amber ale.

One of the lighter options at Pumpkinfest this year. Nothing exciting about this beer. Easy to drink, but I prefer something with a little more to it.
