A marriage of an American Brown Ale with a hop-centric India Pale Ale. A very lively, distinctive aroma that hits the senses before the first sip is ever taken.

The head on the beer was 90% of the bottle. Either a bad batch was distributed or the bottle I received was defective. Extremely displeased with the bomber. Will not be trying more of this brand period.

Since I haven't liked many of Big Muddy's beers so far, I was not expecting much out of this. However, it actually has some flavor, in the form of both dark malt and hops. It actually has body and carbonation as well. I was pleasantly surprised with this one.

Poured from the bottle into a glass.
Brown liquid.
Tan head; decent lace.
Light citrus & nut notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Hops meet coffee but pickle juice pervades. Deec at best.

Pumpkin beers are all the same, they taste good in the beginning, they smell awesome, and they look cool with a nice amber/blonde glow. However after 1 beer the sweetness has killed your appetite for a second and you feel like crap.
