10 years ago we said we'd never make a pumpkin spiced beer. Things change. Here is a golden ale brewed with honey & biscuit malt, vanilla beans, ground nutmeg, ginger root & cinnamon. No further questions - Thank you.

I haven't been into pumpkin beers in the past few years. So, I decided to try this one to reappreciate the style. It pours a murky brownish color with a wispy tan head. The aroma is like a sweet pumpkin pie. I get a lot of nutmeg in the spice, mingled with some malt scents. The spice isn't overpowering in the taste, thankfully. It has a light sweetness and a medium-full body. Flavorful and enjoyable.

Brown to copper in color with a hazy complexion. There’s a fingernail of brown on top. The aroma is of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and pumpkin. I’m tasting clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The mouth is busy and slightly warm with the heavy spicing.

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden amber color with a small, tan head of foam. It left minimal lacing. It smelled of vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and caramel. Nice pumpkin pie spices with caramel and toffee sweetness.
