Pours a deep orange amber color dense cream colored head falls slow.

Aroma lots of pumpkin, vanilla and spice.

Tastes is maybe a pumpkin spice latte with out the good coffee flavors. Does say coffee added but not getting much. Just sweetness and spice.

Mouthfeel is good, medium and smooth.

Overall close to what it says, just not my cup of tea.

Cascading carbonation forms a creamy nitro head that settles in a 1" off-white meringue. The head holds for a while over a glowing haze of pastel orange, while frothy lace clings to a Pretentions Glass Co. Dimpled Mug.

Pumpkin pie dominates the aroma, precisely imitating the pie sensation with added mince. There is nothing more to say here.

Well, it is far less sweet than anticipated. A heavy had was used with the pumpkin spice, and it still has a strong resemblance to yet not to be mistaken for pumpkin pie. The finish is more of the same.

A light body with a watery texture. Abv is below expectations, as is the soft creamy carbonation. It has a mildly unpleasant astringency.

While a good facsimile of pumpkin pie, all be it in liquid state. It is better than I had expected, yet nothing special, just another holiday treat.

Nitro can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

A: Pours cascading tan to golden amber with an appropriately creamy head that hangs around and leaves a thick wall of lacing.

S: Strong hit of pumpkin spice, actually a bit spicy, soft hint of coffee, oats, biscuity malt, and rich caramel sweetness.

T: Big pumpkin spice comes right out, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and ground ginger, coffee is a bit more subtle but it's there, caramel sweetness, and I actually pick up some of the oats mixed in with some biscuity malt.

M: A little on the fuller side of medium body, creamy soft, slightly spice warmth.

O: Not nearly as bad as I feared after seeing the kind of ratings it was getting. Like a PSL the emphasis is on the spice more than anything, and it is a bit sweet. But, if you close your eyes, it's actually pretty on target. Wouldn't mind seeing this treatment applied to their legendary Milk Stout.

An unusual take on a Pumpkin beer. Not great but not bad either. Poured from a 16 oz nitro can into a pint glass, this beer provided the expected creamy, smooth nitro can head - white, medium sized with better than average retention and a light, smooth covering of lacing on the glass. The body had a nice clear (on the first pour) light copper color. Subsequent pours produced a little haziness, but it settle down to a mostly clear color then too. Aroma and taste were fairly prominent: Pumpkin, Pumpkin spices (allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger). a moderate amount of coffee and lactose. The pumpkin spices were well under control, so the rest of the flavors were allowed to shine. Mouthfeel was smooth as you would expect from a beer with lactose and a nitro charge in the can. Mouthfeel was a bit light, could have been a bit more robust. Pretty decent Pumpkin beer..avoided the dreaded pumpkin spice potpourri that spoils so many beers of this style.

Aggressive pour produced a beautiful rolling cascade of foam, before finally settling in to a silky smooth white head. Smelled of pumpkin spices and pie, not any coffee. Taste followed the smell pumpkin pie, but minimal coffee. I would've preferred more coffee. Being a nitro, it was a sky smooth mouthfeel. Overall, while I enjoyed the pumpkin pie aspects, missing out on much coffee brings my taste rating down. A good pumpkin beer nonetheless.

Once it settles, this offering has a light copper appearance with a finger of frothy head. The nose has nice notes of pumpkin spice. The flavor has a little pumpkin, a little coffee with cream and A LOT of spice. The spice on the finish is particularly harsh. The mouthfeel is expectedly creamy.

Glass: Chalice
ABV: 7%


Look:
Opaque orangish-amber. I cannot see through the beer at all. The luxurious and creamy nitro-driven head is off-white with a hint of yellow or light orange and starts at 2-fingers high. The head very slowly dissolves down to 1 finger high, leaving OK lacing.

Smell:
Sweetened pumpkin with sharp notes of ginger and nutmeg. Some cloves also. Vague hints of coffee can be detected in the background.

Taste:
Follows the nose, but with the nutmeg taking center stage alongside the pumpkin and the light coffee notes being more noticeable. The sip finishes semi-sweet with lingering notes of hot ginger and nutmeg.
As time went on, the ginger notes got stronger and stronger.

Feel:
Creamy with some sting from the spices.. The body is medium. Perhaps a shad lighter.

Overall:
I am not a big fan of pumpkin beers, and don't really enjoy this one overmuch. The ginger is really noticeable and hot. A bit too much.

Dark copper colored with a somewhat murky complexion. There’s a half inch of creamy tan head. The aroma is of pumpkin pie spice and allspice. I’m tasting heavily spiced nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and ginger. The mouth is moderately spiced and carbonated.

Nitro can. Poured out an incredibly hazy, foamy, bubbly orange appearance with a huge creamy head. It left sheets of lace on the glass. It smelled of light pumpkin notes with vanilla and cream. Sweet pumpkin, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon taste.
