Pumpkin Path
Cold Harbor Brewing

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a crystal-clear copper-orange color with a small head of white foam. The head fades fast leaving a touch of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – the aroma is heavy of a cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove aroma mixed with some bready and doughy malts and a moderate showing of lightly toasted pumpkin. Along with these smells comes a bit of harvest fruit and a decent showing of caramel and toffee.
Taste – the taste starts with a lightly toasted bready flavor mixed with notes of caramel and toffee. There is a little bit of pumpkin and spice upfront, with the later being mainly of nutmeg and clove, but also containing some cinnamon and cardamon. There is also a bit of biscuit malt and dough mixed within adding a bit more body. As the taste advances the spice amps up a bit, all while the sweet fades a tad. Notes of wheat and hay develop at the end, and along with some notes of earth and herb, one is left with a rather easy natured, slightly higher spiced, but crisp taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – the body is moderate in thickness and creaminess with a tickly and higher carbonation level.
Overall – A rather easy natured pumpkin brew. Not overly sweet or pumpkin laden, but mostly balanced, even with the higher level of spice.
