On tap at Kretschmann Brewing Company.

Pours a deep copper color, off white head left a surface presence after a very gentle pour.

Bready yeasts and malt take most of the aroma.

I am having trouble describing the flavor. Some dark brown bread bitters, some earthy hops. Flavor seems a tad diluted, and I may be getting squash towards the end. I never know if this isn't just me convincing myself, but not like I can conduct a blind taste test.

Very thin light bodied mouthfeel, though overall it is more smooth than crisp.

On it's own, I find it above average, and overall lacking, but I can tell by the pull that it would make a wonderful accompaniment to a meal.

On-tap 11/27/2015 at Krestchmann Brewing Company in Webster, MA, served in a weizen glass.

A: The beer is a deep amber color, with a short off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.

S: The aroma contains squash, some spice and caramelized malts.

T: The taste starts out bready with a hearty malt character up front. Then some flavors of squash, spices and caramel come in. The hops presence is mild but creates a good balance. The after-taste is slightly bready and slightly sweet.

M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.

O: A little tasty, goes down easily, slightly filling, mild kick, good variation of style, it’s a decent beer to drink for a while if you’re looking for something similar but not exactly like a pumpkin beer.
