If you're like, alone on Halloween - let us cheer you up. We decided standard pumpkin ales weren't exactly our style, so we made this basic frappe with pumpkin, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, and vanilla. 'Tis the season for ridiculousness. Let the haters hate.

Can to tulip. Purchased from Winooski Beverage, Vermont.
The appearance was a chill haze to semi-murky paled yellow-ed paper color. A thin white layer of moderate foamy head dissipated fairly quick. Just a wisp of concave lace graced the sides.
The aroma had some pumpkin fleshy sweetness flowing over some clove, cinnamon, ginger, super low on the allspice then sweet vanilla creaminess.
The flavor yields towards the pumpkin sweetness and then it's spices conglomerate for a fine blend. Slight bubblegum-esque character shows up here. Mild pumpkin sweet aftertaste with a mild crisp earthy pumpkin-like seediness.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability. Carbonation felt nice and low like a milkshake IPA should. ABV seemed close to what the brewer projected.
Overall, honestly, I have mixed feelings about this beer as I actually didn't mind this beer for me. However, no hoppy bitterness showed up anywhere, no hoppy juiciness showed up and no hoppy sweetness showed up. How are milkshake IPA's even IPA's anymore? Dafaq! I'm so confused. To anyone reading this - ignore my numbers.
