Nice and subdued pumpkin taste. Very spicey but not sweet at all. Nice and clean beer. I like.

Clear amber with a small white head. spice, pumpkin, and cinnamon in the nose. Same for the flavor. Roasted malts are thrown in, as well as a good amount of other spices. Really interesting for the winter and i hope to try it again.

Pours a cloudy amber-orange with a small white head. Aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon and sugar cane. Nice amount of spice to balance out the pumpkin flavoring resulting in less of a pumpkin taste than I would have liked. Overall, a pretty good seasonal beer.

Bottle - Pours amber with white head. Pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon nose. All the flavors of pumpkin pie, spice, malted grain, not much notice of hops - maybe slight. Not something I’d drink regular, but it was okay. Might have been better with holiday food.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber with a thin, white head. Aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg. Mouthfeel is much of the same, but the pumpkins really balance well with the spices. A nice sweetness shines through near the end. The finish is mildly bitter. Decent beer.

A little too spicy for me. All the pumpkin pie stuff is there. Pumpkin, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon. I am not all that on this style. I could drink it...just not one of the favs.

12 oz. bottle split with ’Naka. Pours amber with small white head rimming the glass. Spice nose, touch of malt, and a bit of skunk. Nice malt character, hops are diminished by mulling spices. Still has a crisp finish, with spice and alcohol notes in the after. Pretty damn delicious. Best pumpking brew I’ve had.
