3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewery. Pour is clear amber with a big white head; great lacing. Big spice, potpourri, raisins, fruity, nutmeg, cinnamon, sweet potatoes, pie crust, and molasses in the aroma. Taste is pumpkiny, nutmeg, big spice, caramel, biscuit, licorice, and bread. Medium body with soft carbonation. Not a bad pumpkin ale at all the alcohol is hidden beautifully.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Hazy rust color - minimal lace - loads of roasted pumpkin in the nose, light spice, not much else - medium body, low carbonation - medium sweet, very vegetal, lots of roasted pumpkin meat - lightly tart through the.middle - watery finish, with some alcohol heat and flavor - meh.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at De Steeg poured a clear orange amber with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of carmel, fruittiness, cinnamon and nutmeg. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors ofcarmel, fruittiness, light cinnamon and light nutmeg with a smooth lingering fruity finish.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Clear light orange with fast fading head. Nose of belgian yeast notes, subtle cloves, not a lot of pumpkin spice, but pumpkin flesh. Pumpkin flesh and zippy lemon tartness on a round palate. Very unique pumpkin beer and not overly spiced or sweet, so hits the right marks for me. Alcohol very well hidden. Probably the best of their opening line up.
