4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Asheville Pizza & Brewing Co. This ale should be served with cool whip. Strong pumpkin pie aroma. Orange amber in color. Good cinnamon flavor with a surprising smoothness. I haven’t had a pumpkin ale this good since Adler-brau in Appleton.

Best Pumpkin Ale ever. Most pumpkin ales just taste like their IPA brother with pumpkin extract but this had a flavor and complexity all its own. More than pumpkin pie in a glass.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the Flying Saucer in Charlotte. This is by far the best pumpkin beer I’ve had. Lots of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg in both the aroma and the flavor. Finish isn’t too sweet, either. GREAT beer! I sure with CVBC bottled their great brews.

SMA Holiday beer fest. Draught. Small head, brownish slightly hazy appearance. Strong pumpkin with typical pumpkin pie type spices (ginger, clove, cinnamon, etc...). Full palate with good soft-sweet finish. Like pumpkin pie, a good dessert beer with a creamy body.

Copper Orange, thin tan head. cinnamon, nutmeg and clove aroma, Pumpkin is there, of course, but this more subtle than some other pumpkin beer. More to accompany dessert, not to replace it.
