From the pint can, it pours a slightly hazy orangey amber color with a nice off-white head that slowly diminishes. The nose gets some pumpkin pie spice, not a whole lot, however. The mouth gets pumpkin flavor with a bit of sweet and a bit of spice.

A pretty average Pumpkin Beer. Nothing objectionable, just not one of the better ones. Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass, this beer featured a very slightly hazy light copper color with an off-white head. The head has about average retention and there is some foamy lacing on the glass. Aroma and taste are mild. There is some actual pumpkin flavor and light pumpkin spicing but nothing that noticeable, especially in a strong beer. Mouthfeel is somewhat light for a malty, strong beer. It goes down fairly smooth. There are better pumpkin beers out there - nationally and in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area.

Ehhh not the worst pumpkin ale but definitely not the best in the 757 area code. Tastes like a stale pumpkin without any carbonation. Dark orange colored. Cool name and fits the area but won’t compete at this level.

From the bottom of the can: "09/24/19 14:24"
Appearance: The body is a darker beige-orange-brown. It has a short white head with spotty retention.
Aroma: it smells a bit like cabbage and a tad like plastic. It is not appealing aroma-wise.
Taste: Some clove and allspice come through fairly strongly. It tastes a bit like a potpourri smells. A bit of burnt plastic in the background.
Mouthfeel: It is bitter and astringent and difficult to drink.
Overall: I'm not a fan of this beer and honestly I'm not sure how breweries can screw up a pumpkin beer. I don't recommend it and I wouldn't drink it again. It tastes like melted plastic and potpourri. Nothing is redeemable about this beer.

Poured a golden orange body with decent head and an aroma of laid back pumpkin and minimal sweetness.
This is a standard ale that has a large amount of pumpkin added to it, so while it has pumpkin flavors there isn't much in terms of cinnamon, brown sugar, nutmeg or spices added to it.
Light to medium bodied and easy to drink, this is a good pumpkin beer that hides the booze and is quite enjoyable and sessionable.
