Solid pumpkin ale - it looked great out of the can, smelled great in the pint, and had a light and crisp mouthfeel. The taste wasn't on par to what i was expecting given the other attributes. Nonetheless, a solid pumpkin offering. Try it.

The pour is burnt orange. The taste is pumpkin and spices, not bad. Cheers! B

Drinking this at The Hayesville Brewing Company in Beautiful Hayesville NC.
Poured from a tap into a pint glass.
Looks Amber, not hazy, with a light tan colored head that dropped quickly to a thin ring.
Smells like a malty pumpkin pie, spicy, pumpkin and nutmeg.
Taste follows the nose nicely with a nice balance of malt, pumpkin, and spice.
Mouth feel is medium light for the style.
Overall a nice example of a Pumpkin Ale that I might order again.
Cheers!

Pretty good for a pumpkin beer. It's definitely heavy on pumpkin spice flavors but without being cloyingly sweet or bitter.

Pint glass had at the trio in Greenville,sc. Nice 1 finger off white foam head that quickly fades, great autumn fall color, taste that consist of all spice, some nutmeg, hints of cinnamon, medium body with some carbonation, overall a good pumpkin brew.

Nice pumpkin brew. Color is quite good with the red/orange color I look for in a pumpkin ale. Spice was a bit strong on the front of the tongue but had a very good after taste that lingers. The head was perfect and it is an easy drinkable pumpkin brew!
