Draft sample at the brewery - this tastes like a mediocre pumpkin ale with a splash of saison mixed in - a lot of nutmeg and a touch of cinnamon - some vegetal pumpkin flavors - light tanginess and a bit of saison-ish spice and belgian yeast phenols - light body - watery texture - another miss.

(draft). Amber color with light cloudiness. Small off white head. Light pumpkin and spice aroma. Moderate pumpkin and nutmeg flavor. Avg duration. Smooth finish. Thin texture. Moderate carbonation. Spare lacing.

Tasting at CBF. Hazy orange with small white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, lots of spices, notes of apple and orange. Taste is very spicy, clean and crisp. The Pumpkin is not very prevalent

Draught. Pours hazy orange with an average, creamy off-white head, somewhat diminishing with good lacing. Aroma is average malt (straw, grain, meal), average hop (citrus), average yeast (earth) with notes of apple, pear, peach, apricot, and pumpkin. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.
