*archived review*
12oz can picked up at Big Head's Bottle Shop in Missoula, MT; 'pumpkin-spiced seasonal ale; cream ale brewed w/ pumpkins'
Poured into a Baerlic Belgian-style tulip
P slightly hazy copper/bronze w/ a small off-white cap; moderate active carb
N bold and inviting nose of pumpkin sweetness and spice; a bit of wild ale-like character as it warms (acidic notes); doesn't have any neg implications on the aroma, though
T follows nose w/ sweet, satisfying pumpkin and spice over lightly bready malt; some grassy and buttery notes in the background as well
Mf med to med-full bodied w/ soft-med carb
O really good pumpkin spice cream ale- exceeded my expectations

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a deep orange amber color with a two finger head of fizzy white foam. The head has a decent level of retention, fading over time to leave a lighter level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is rather strong of pumpkin pie aroma with a strong roasted pumpkin mixed with cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. Along with these smells comes some aromas of a biscuit smell and a little bit of earthy smell.
Taste – The taste begins with a rather crisp pumpkin flavor that has a decent sum of roast and spice of nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice along with a little bit of brown sugar and caramel. As the taste moves forward the roast increases a bit with some other light hop flavors of earth and grass coming to the tongue as well. While up to this point there was almost no cream ale taste to the brew, toward the end, the cream really starts to kick it up; mixing with the roasted pumpkin nicely to create a rather pleasant, not too sweet, roasty but smooth pumpkin pie flavor to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is rather thin with a carbonation level that is a bit on the higher side. I would have liked a little more body and a bit less carbonation on this one, which would have complimented the roasted pumpkin flavors nicely. Overall though, it was a decent feel I suppose.
Overall- This was a rather nice drinking, non-very sweet, modest abv. pumpkin ale. The touch of cream ale flavor at the end matches the pumpkin flavors nicely and creates a rather pleasant drinker.
