3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap at the now rebranded Cucamonga Brewing Co as "Pumpkin Spiced Ale" listed at 6.8%. Pours a clear orange. Spotty lace. Nose is yam, orange candies. Taste is candies with cinnamon and nutmeg. Just a "spiced" ale with no real pumpkin. I think this current listing should be aliased with "Cucamonga Pumpkin Spiced Ale."

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the brewery. It pours a nice copper color with a small but lasting off white head. The aroma is winter spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, mild touches of Ginger, some good sweet malt background. Spiced aroma is not too strong and on point. The flavor is spiced and a bit dryer than expected. The spices come through a bit stronger in the flavor, but still not overpowering. The finish had just a hint of earthy hops and malt. Pretty good winter beer.
