Darker copper color and nearly clear. Moderate head but great streaks for lace. A
Dry and nearly devoid of any aroma. I get hints of cinnamon and other pumpkin pie spices.
Reminds me of a dry pumpkin ale even though this is a lager. Full bodied with a moderate carbonation level. The swallow keeps the dryness but adds some hop born bitterness. Decently long aftertaste.

A- Deep copper, no haze, nice off white head 1-2 finger width that maintains
S- Definite smoke quality that is mixed with hints of toasted pine nuts, caramel and toffee. Very subtle lager sulphur notes
T- Hints of spicy rye opens the palate that lends to a light smoke and woody flavor. Hints of pine and caramel sweetness is present throughout. Ends with a linger sweetness mixed with subtle smokiness.
M- Mouthfeel is medium with low to no alcohol warmth.
O- Very nice beer for the season. Light complexities with a lot of subtle flavors to keep you guessing. 5/5
