Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a burnt orange color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of cinnamon, pumpkin. Taste has an overpowering flavor of vinegar, some light notes of cinnamon and pumpkin are present. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall this is not a good beer.

16oz can into a pint glass. NO freshness dating. Apparently bought at the brewery this month, so likely a recent release.
Dark copper body with orange highlights small off white head shrinks to a covering, specks of lacing. Aroma of cinnamon with something else I can't pin down. On tasting, initially cinnamon and pumpkin, but this is then swallowed up by a vinegar like taste which lasts into the finish and completely spoils the drink.
Overall, a lot of promise in this beer, wrecked in the finish. Perhaps whoopie pie doesn't belong in beer.
