This draft brew from the brew pub poured a large sized head of foamy with a frothy top off-white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent softly carbonated copper colored body. The nice aroma was spicy and pumpkin. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt cinnamon nutmeg and pumpkin. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

On tap at Brockway (odd to see considering the season). Poured a clear medium brown with a short, dense white head. Aroma picked up fresh pumpkin with the necessary pie spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, and a little dough).. quite nice. Flavor didn’t handle itself as well... sticky spices were there, but not really any pumpkin.. some soapy notes.. left tacky spices on the short finish. Light-bodied and fleeting across the palate.
