Prior to sampling, please make sure to swirl the can before serving. Serve nicely cold.
The beer pours nearly the color of carrot juice; a thick, pumpkin-yellow. Nearly no head at all exists on this beer. Aroma is strongly pumpkin. Sips of this beer back up a type of pumpkin smoothie with little to no carbonation. The brew isn't sour so much as spiced in its' tasting with nutmeg being the type of spice I detect. This is a thick smoothie. My takeaway is that this is a sipping beer; it is hard for me to picture this being anything but, however, it is perfectly acceptable and much in the vein of Berliner-Weisse brews from Energy City.

1 of these is enough for me. Semi gritty texture compared to their other smoothie beers.

A Tavour Treat. Pours a juicy pumpkin color, the consistency of weak apricot nectar, with virtually no head. Aroma is pumpkin and pumpkin spices. Taste is sweet pumpkin. an interesting brew.

Appearance - The beer was an un-earthly shade of orange with a potential origin story that comes from hostile aliens.
Smell -The nose was sweet with lactose sugar and pumpkin spices.
Taste - The “beer” was a combination of a pumpkin spice latte and fruit smoothie. I could have purchased something like this at Dairy Queen or Orange Julius. With a fruit puree forward finish. This was barely beer.
Mouthfeel - The was serious viscosity here.
Overall - I could not finish it.

Completely opaque sludgy carrot juice appearance. Pumpkin pie spices, vanilla, and graham cracker nose, really well done but very sugary smelling. Taste is as sweet as expected from the nose, but also has a pleasant slushy level tartness, spices fade a bit to give way to graham cracker, huge vanilla, pumpkin, and accents of lemon juice. Feel is thick, viscous and heavy, a little clumsy but tartness and spiced notes help. A dessert slushy for fall

Firstly, I am not a pumpkin beer fan by any means, so I went into this one with a prejudice about it.
Deep murky orange. Poured like motor oil. Smell was pumpkin, spice, citrus. Very nice. Flavor was off the charts. Not overly pumpkin-y. Nice spice. Citrus comes through on the back end with a nice tart punch. Wow. Mouthfeel is the standard EC mouthfeel: thick and amazing.
I didn't really want to buy this beer but did anyway because its EC. WOW am I glad I did. I actually like this more than the Turbine beers and that's saying something. Amazing job.
