3.4/5  rDev -11.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 2.5
A little too much of the gourd to go back for a second helping

Appearance: Opague, cloudy; minimal orange-amber head

Smell: Pumpkin pie

Taste: Faint spicy, pumpkin bread

Mouthfeel: Bitter with CO2 up front, a bit sour

Drinkability: It has a touch of rotten at the end making this a once-and-done beer. It looks better than it tastes.

A: poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass, amber colored with a foamy white head that dissipates leaving little lacing, clear

S: as expected, pumpkin pie spice

T: nutmeg, clove, and actual pumpkin, the spice doesn't overpower the pumpkin flavor

M: light and crisp

O: pumpkin isn't overpowered in this one

Poured as a orange-brown with about a 2 finger head that held its retention well. Has a spiced pumpkin with a hint of a peppery smell to it. For the taste almost has like a cinnamon pumpkin pie taste. Very light on the hops side but a great beer overall. One I will steadily have for sure
