Review from notes. 12 oz. bottle poured into a New Glarus pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a clear pale gold color with a huge white head. Tons of carbonation. I can never seem to get a full bottle of a Flat 12 beer into a glass in a single pour. Massive carbonation. Leaves a very nice lacing down the glass.
Smell: Strong pumpkin pie spice backed up with a little bit of biscuit malt and some slight yeast esters. Yeast becomes more dominant as I continue to drink.
Taste: The pumpkin isn't nearly as dominant as I was expecting from the aroma. Very well balanced between biscuity malts and pumpkin, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg. Not a spice bomb at all (which far too many pumkin beers are).
Mouthfeel: Light bodied. As I was expecting, too much carbonation makes it a little harsh on the palate, but still goes down pretty smooth.
Overall: A very well done pumpkin beer, and a nice change of pace from the spice bombs out there.
