Pours a cloudy brownish color with some head that lasts. Pumpkin and some spice lead the aroma, while malt and a bitter cinnamon dominate the taste. Mostly thin mouthfeel and a spicy bitter aftertaste. Just below the above average threshold of 3.5

Cloudy orange-brown color. Lots of rising bubbles and head retention. Pumpkin aromas. I notice a strong malt character, with some spice and pumpkin notes, but the pumpkin isn’t too overbearing. That being said, it’s not a weak beer, as it has a very solid structure. Crisp, carbonated mouthfeel.

12oz can. Hazy amber pour, thin white head fades to a ring, little to no lace. Mild pumpkin spice smell. Caramel malt with spices, dry bitter finish. Thin to medium mouthfeel. Ok pumpkin brew, not too spicy, which is good, but no other flavors really stand out either.

Nice deep copper colored pour with an off-white head that goes away quite quickly and leaves minimal lacing. Smells quite yeasty or bready with some pumpkin spices like cinnamon and nutmeg present. The taste is malty but not very sweet and contains mostly yeast and cracker tastes with some pumpkin spices that are dominated by the cinnamon. There is a bit of hop bitterness at the end that balances the sweetness nicely. Overall it isn't bad it just is kind of bland to me with no standout flavor whatsoever. Oktober Beast is definitely a better fall option from Aviator.

The flavor is more of a malty, toasted pumpkin flavor, which is kind of different compared to the other pumpkin beers I've been trying this Fall. I don't taste much of the spices. It's still a decent beer, but if you're expecting something more pumpkin-y, then you may be disappointed.
