3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Pours a murky orange brown, very little head. Nice pumpkin and spicey aroma. Nutmeg, cinnamon. Medium, creamy body. Sweet with a peppery overtone. Great clean finish. This was delicious. The flavours popped, but weren’t overwhelming. Really nice!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle: Poured a deep amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light pumpkin notes with light cinnamon notes. Taste is also dominated by medium pumpkin notes with some cinnamon and ginger also discernable. Malt backbone is present and provides semi-sweet caramel flavours. Body is about average with light creaminess and good carbonation. Nothing extreme in this beer – just good balance mix between pumpkin and light spices.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
1/2 liter bottle: pours an orangey-amber hazed ale in the glass - 2 finger tight-pored off white cap lasts well, laces the glass. Moderate carbonation. Aromas of musty pumpkin shell and toasty-bready malts, a hint of sweetness, some grassyness. Medium bodied, demure rounded character. Flavor is a very pleasing pumpkin and caramalt blend in the front, some tostiness, some spice, some hop bittering to balance, this intensifies a bit going to a lingering balanced finish. A substantial pumpkin ale flavourful but demure without being understated - a very drinkable pumpkin brew. I like it.

Bouteille 500 ml. 5%. Couleur ambrée-orange. Arôme de citrouille, cannelle, muscade et de tarte à la citrouille. En bouche, de la tarte, un peu d’épices pas trop piquantes. Très bonne.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
My first pumpkin ale of the season. Pale amber pour with a thick off-white head. The aroma is fairly spicy with notes of cinnamon and allspice primarily. A fairly moderate palate with a little bit of soft sweetness. Low bitterness and a little bit of lingering spiciness. Pretty typical for the style, but it’s decent enough.
