    Any way to tell the vintage on the older bottles of Pumking?

    I remember the labels for the 2012 and 2013 were different shades of orange. The 2012 was lighter. This year they seem to have a new label entirely. Further back I can't remember :slight_smile:

    Is that a beer you would want to age? Seems to me that's a brew best had fresh.

    Aged Pumking is way less sweet. I prefer it at a year. Or more like, I can tolerate it a year.

    my bottles were also not all by choice. I feel like pumpkin beers a few years back became even more of the rage and completely took off. I kept buying new ones to try and didn't get around to the ones I had.

    Will crack them open this year and see.
