16oz can from Tavour. Cloudy orange, golden. Pumpkin, squash aroma, spice kept to a minimum. Taste is sweet and savory. Rich, full. This is what all pumpkin beers should taste like.

12oz can, about 2 months old. Bought this on a whim because it sounded weird. Beer #1500
Look's unimpressive, a hazed-out pumpkin-y ale-y orange. Smells of booze and autumnal spices. The taste nails it, maybe just a little too much barrel, but nearly perfect otherwise for what they are going for - "Pumpkin pie with whipped cream" is exactly what I taste here. The barrel taste is there but the alcohol burn is almost completely (dangerously) hidden. As it warms the barrel creeps out even more, snuffing out the sweet pumpkin spice with rye whisky flavors
I want 6-pack of this now to sit and mellow with age. Perfect for a cold autumn or winter night

A: The beer is very hazy yellow in color and has some hints of amber hues. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of pumpkin are present in the nose along with hints of ginger and nutmeg.
T: The taste follows the smell and has notes of "whipped cream" flavors and bits of sweetness from the sweetness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and rather smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer really tastes like pumpkin pie with some whipped cream on top. I liked how the pumpkin pie spices and the sweetness were not overpowering. It also did a very good job at hiding any traces of alcohol from the taste.
Serving type: can

Semi-clear dark amber body with no head. Smells like a pumpkin pie dessert bar: has all the spices, pumpkin, plenty of vanilla, but the breadiness is not there, which I don't hate. Taste is the same way, with the malt being more caramel based, allowing the flavors to roam free and accent one another instead of being weighed down. Feel is very cool, malty, sweet, and leaning towards light in the body but never quite leaves medium. Like many pumpkin beers, hits the spot when in the mood
