Very interesting. A fairly sweet beer with a very noticeable pumpkin taste. I suppose it is good for the right season. I love a good pumpkin pie, but I don't know. This feels a little overwhelming on the pumpkin taste. It's not gross by any means, but I'm pretty sure if I drank more than one in one sitting I'd start to feel a little sick. It's fun to drink once in a while. Get a few friends together and let them try it is fun, but other than that I don't care too much for it.

A - copper brown with good clarity. Off white and creamy head that clings after each sip.
S - Nutmeg, pumpkin spice, chai tea, vanilla, bread dough.
T - Malt forward, caramel, grain, oats, pumpkin spice, nutmeg, anise. Nicely balanced and really clean and crisp on the palate.
O - After looking at some of the negative reviews, I'm quite pleasantly surprised with this brew. This is a really solid pumpkin brew that is highly quaffable and is nicely balanced.

Pumpkin nose. Light body, pumpkin on palate with light bitterness and dry finish.

Disappointing..... definitely get the "pumpkin" glow, but flat in appearance and taste.... Don't care for a pumpkin spice latte, and now don't care for the beer equivalent

Pours copper. Bland aroma. Sweet pumpkin body. Falls pretty flat at the end. Mediocre. This was the first pumpkin ale I ever had. They have come a long way from this one.

12 Oz Bottle poured into glass
Look - copper colored with a fizzy small foam head
Smell - The aroma is good but it's more of a winter spice blend than actual pumpkin. Lots of cinnamon, clove, vanilla, and nutmeg.
Taste - Some pumpkin initially but a sweet malt finish that also has a metallic taste like copper. Medium-high carbonation, which detracts from the taste in my opinion. Can taste a bit of alcohol in this. Spices are less apparent than in the aroma. Body is medium.
Overall, a solid pumpkin beer to drink in the fall. The twist off cap beers tend to be over-carbonated and this was the biggest weakness. Grade is a B

Initial taste was toasty and spicy, spices are heavier than the pumpkin. Aftertaste was a little flat.

Tried from seasonal pack.
L: Deep amber, moderate carbonation seen, thick persistent head
S: Smell of pumpkin and nutmeg, little cinnamon and allspice. Smells like regular pumpkin spice stuff.
T: Tastes of strong pumpkin spice seasoning, pumpkin, allspice, nutmeg, then goes to kind of a flat bready malt. Very malt heavy. Aftertaste of pumpkin pie.
F: Warming alcohol taste, medium bodied
O: Overall kinda flat. Looks better than tastes.
