Can purchased at Fattey Beer Company in Rochester, NY.
This one pours a lightly hazy light orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This lightly of sweet pumpkin, with a touch of vanilla, and a little bit of lacing.
This is fairly inoffensive, but tasty enough. It’s not overspiced, as so many pumpkin beers tend to be. There’s just a hint of breadiness and vanilla, and a touch of sweetness that feels pumpkin-like.
This is light bodied, slightly creamy, and very drinkable.
Keuka is traditionally one of the worst local breweries, but this really wasn’t too bad, surprisingly.

I tried a tall boy can of this beer at my euchre partner's house. It poured a clear golden with thin white head that did not leave any lace. The scent had pumpkin and spice notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with sweet malt base with a good pumpkin roll presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

Pours gem clear with an orange/copper color and tons of streaming carbonation within a Pretentious Glass Company dimpled mug. Four inches of faintly orange head is surprisingly loose and seemingly eternal. Eventually, chunky lace is all that is left.
The pumpkin spice is mild with nutmeg out front. Sweet aromas follow right behind, leaving cinnamon and clove in the distant background.
The flavor is similarly mild with pumpkin spice, however, the squash is more noticeable than most examples I have enjoyed of this style. Light bitterness and mild sweetness give way to a short and modest finish. In general, the flavors are closer to pumpkin bread than pie.
A watery texture and light body with no hint of alcohol. Effervescence is high.
Keuka Brewing uses a Cream Ale as the base style and it works well. I have recently started to come around to Pumpkin Beer. Of course it's also possible that brewers have stepped up their game rather than simply pushing out a novelty for the season. I found this to be welcome while unwinding on a cold November evening.

Pours a clear amber. Creamy foam. A nice pumpkin malt aroma. Very good. Solid pumpkin flavor with a sweet brown sugar finish. Very smooth. Can't go wrong with this one.

Clear reddish-amber, with moderate light tan head.
Smell is pumpkin, spices, and lightly-sweet creaminess.
Taste is light cream, lightly-sweet pumpkin, the usual mix of spices, and a bit of toasted bread.
Feel smooth, medium, with moderate soft carbonation.
Overall, this is my favorite pumpkin beer (so far), and one I look forward to every fall. Using a cream ale as the vehicle for the pumpkin pie flavors elevates this above the rest.

Pours a hazed pumpkin orange with a thinner lacey white head atop.I like the fact that pumpkin is part of the aroma and not all spice,some vanilla and nutmeg is there as well.Flavors are a little heavy handed in the vanilla department and it gets a bit sweet but it still has some of the pumpkin flavor in the finish.It's a one and done beer for me because of the sweetness but the one isn't bad.
