Our Serenity meets sweet and savory with this scrumptious seasonal beer. Real CSA locally grown pumpkins are baked, chunked and thrown directly into the mash tun with a cornucopia of spices. Perfect on a fall day when the leaves begin to change. Loving this beer is as easy as pie!

Poured from the bottle into a glass.

Murky, slightly see through orange/yellow color.

Nice white head; nice lacing.

Cinnamon pumpkin nose; pumpkin pie notes abound.

Medium thin mouthfeel.

Pumpkin pie flavor, but a touch more watery than the nose suggested. Not bad, but forgettable.

This is an introduction beer to those seeking to have a pumpkin beer. It's a subtle pumpkin beer in that the spices aren't over the top and the pumpkin is subtle. It looks alright, an off orange with white foam. Kind of looks dull. Head doesn't last

Aroma and flavor have many things in common. Some nutmeg, cinnamon (?) and yeastiness. Hints of pumpkin, some orange rind. What hurts this beer, though, is the carbonation...or lack thereof. Just seems boring. If you enjoy pumpkin beers, try this, but I doubt it will impress. For those wondering what pumpkin beers have, this would be a good start

12 oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy copper orange with a smallish head that quickly goes to a very thin collar.

The aroma is pumpkin and a great blend of spice. It dissipates a lot as it sits.

The flavor is rather subdued compared to the draft version. Sweet malts with some pumpkin and lots of pumpkin spices. The mouthfeel is pretty full bodied with low carbonation.

Overall, this is one of my favorite pumpkin beers. On draft, I liked this better than DFH Punkin in a side by side comparison. This bottle is a bit more subdued than remembered though.

A - Poured a clear, burgundy color with a one-finger, khaki colored head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass.

S - It smelled of nutmeg, cinnamon, all spice and pumpkin.

T - Great balance of spices and pumpkin. Spices are strong but not overdone. Sweet pumpkin with a touch of maltiness adds balance.

M - It was crisp, sharp and smooth. A medium bodied ale with a dry, clean finish.

O - This is a really good pumpkin ale. Crabtree continues to impress.

Pours a clear, maize/amber color. 1/5 inch head of an off-white color. Decent retention and slight lacing. Smells of ginger, pumpkin, sweet malt, and a hint of hop. Fits the style of a Pumpkin Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of pumpkin, strong spices, hint of ginger, sweet malt, and a hint of hop. Overall, decent aroma, blend, and body.
