I don't see any date listed on the can or the label.
Appearance: It has a beautiful dark orange-brown colored body with hints of sunburst golden yellow. It has pretty good clarity with only a light bit of haze. There is a lot of visible carbonation but the beer never even forms a head. It momentarily forms a fizzling surface similar to pouring a soda, but it instantly goes glass flat. No lacing.
Aroma: There is a light pumpkin spice aroma which comes across mostly as cinnamon and clove.
Taste: There is a light pumpkin spice flavor up front which is mostly a mellow cinnamon character. There is a hint of toasted malt flavor which becomes stronger as the beer rolls to the back of the tongue. A light bit of pumpkin spice and toasty flavor in the aftertaste. After a while a light bit of alcohol also comes through.
Mouthfeel: It is light bodied with good carbonation. There is a mild bitterness to the beer which seems to come from the grains but might also be from some spice.
Overall: It's a pretty average attempt at a pumpkin beer. It has just enough spice that it can be picked up on the nose and tongue but it keeps it fairly light and mellow. There is a light malt presence which comes across mostly with this toast character but otherwise it doesn't offer much flavor. The appearance is very lackluster. I would recommend passing on it because there are so many better pumpkin beers on the market to choose from. It wasn't a bad beer but I doubt I would buy it again.

Pretty good Pumpkin Beer. Bought a16 oz can at Chip's Beer and Wine in Kill Devil Hills NC. Poured into a pint glass, this beer features a beautiful copper color - clear on the first pour, slightly hazy after that. Big fizzy slightly off-white head with good head retention and lots of thin bands of lacing. A good looking beer!! Aroma is mostly pumpkin with a little bit of fall spices - cinnamon and nutmeg. Taste is mostly pumpkin with some caramel malt. The spicing is just right - not some overdone potpourri!!! Mouthfeel is somewhat rich with a nice level of carbonation. Alcohol is fairly well hid - a good beer

Poured a copper orange body with minimal head. Slight pumpkin cinnamon and bread notes in the aroma. Slightly dry and cutting spiciness but decent pumpkin-like sweetness and finish for a respectable pumpkin beer.
