The contents of a pint can are entirely emptied into a clear glass liter mug. There's plenty of those pumpkin pie spices to be smelled. So is it clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice or something else that dominates. For the nose, let's go with the pungent clove. That's not to say the others aren't included. To look at, the brew is dull, but it's richly copper-amber and supports a very little off-white head. Drinking it, the body first seems to carry all of the tastes anticipated by the nose, bringing a little welcomed sweetness upfront. But, as the taste of spices grows, the body fades. It never gets too thin, although it approaches that mark. The positives are that, unlike its aroma, there is a nice balance of pumpkin pie spices to taste. The glass lacing is noteworthy. It drinks easily, as none of the pumpkin pie spices dominates. The overall thinness of the body can produce doubt that real pumpkins were included. In the specialty niche, this is OK, but not among the elite few.

Pours a dark bronze with a tan one finger head. Aroma is cardamom and malt, with nutmeg thrown in. Taste is light, watery and less cardamom and malt, though malt is present.

Poured from a can

Appearance - Cloudy, deep Orange / red - like clay. No head.

Aroma -Very light Pumpkin and vey light brown sugar. Not much smell to be honest and that’s disappointing but acceptable since made with real pumpkin.

Taste -Light pumpkin and watery; backend is somewhat disappointing as there is no lingering taste

Mouthfeel -Thin and light

Overall -Average pumpkin beer. More flavor and spices would make it better. Aroma was the best part in my opinion. Worth a try for sure.

Look: Dark red-orange with a frothy off-white head that builds, somewhat holds, and settles to a lid, leaving great lacing behind
Aroma: Roasted pumpkin flesh and seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, warm brown bread, wafts of clove, and brown sugar
Taste: Starts out with roasted pumpkin seeds and freshly baked brown bread that hold for just a second before the pumpkin flesh and spices begin to trickle in. Nice depth of pumpkin flavor throughout and closes with sweet brown sugar and a nice hit of clove
Mouthfeel: Full, clean, soft, medium-high carbonation, and soft and pretty smooth on the finish
Overall: I dig this beer. I’ve enjoyed this since they first made it in ceramic 750mL bottles as it’s a good pumpkin beer that isn’t spice-dominate. Good balance of real pumpkin flavor and spices all in an easy-drinking and readily available beer that is annually enjoyed. Recommended

Poured from a can

Appearance - Cloudy amber/ copper body with virtually no head. What head was poured disappears quickly and leaves a nice bubbling top.

Aroma -Pumpkin, brown sugar

Taste -Moderate pumpkin, alcohol and somewhat watery; backend is somewhat disappointing as there is no lingering taste

Mouthfeel -Thin and light bodied, medium to low carbonation

Overall -Average pumpkin beer. More flavor and spices would make it better. Aroma was the best part in my opinion. Worth a try for sure.

Look: It pours dark amber with an off white head. Head retention is moderately low.

Smell: It has strong spicy aromas that feature cinnamon and allspice. There is also some nutmeg and low pumpkin. There is a very low caramel note.

Taste: The flavors feature cinnamon and allspice. There is nutmeg and cardamon. It is a bit sweet with sugary notes that may be brown sugar. It also has pumpkin and light caramel.

Feel: It has a medium body with a somewhat sweet aftertaste.

Overall, I like in your face spiciness for pumpkin ales which for me makes this an enjoyable fall beer.

This beer is superb. I've never had a pumpkin beer like this. It is very malty and dark flavored with the perfect amount of pleasant spices. It feels higher abv than it is and that's a good thing (probably from the ginger burn). This beer strangely reminds me of a spiced dunkelbock double. Very malty and dark. I love it!
