This is a very nice beer appearance wise. And can be very nice if you like sweet beer. but it’s just too much pumpkin for me. It’s definately the best pumpkin ale I’ve had, but just not my style.

I know I rated this and it got deleted somehow but luckily I still had the notes. Hazy orange pour, big fluffy ewhite head. Aroma is pumpkin and biscuity with some spices. Flavor is biscuity and toasted crisp malts with the pumpkin being subtle and a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg coming through. Overall a very drinkable pumpkin beer.

Another growler courtesy of crizay brought to the O-town throwdown. This one poured an ambersih orange color with a thin white head. The aroma was very nice of pumkin pie spices, nutmeg, brown sugar, and some pumpkin flesh. The flavor is a nice blend of malts, pumpkin, spices, nutmeg, and toasty malts. This has a really nice sweet flavor to it with the toasted malts and pumpkin spices. Medium bodied with some subtle carbonation that has a nice sweet finish with the pumpkin spices left behind. A really nice pumpkin beer.

growler from crizay: pours very clean and clear orange hue, bubbly small white head. aroma is very spicey, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon. very little pumpkin aroama. flavour is more squash than thought with the great spice from the nose. some caramel malt background very excellent pumpkin.

Growler… O-Town Throwdown Part Tres... Clear golden ale with a small, white head. Pumpkin and autumn spices in the nose along with a token caramel note. Hearty, sweet, spicy flavor with just a touch of tanginess. Medium to full-bodied with soft carbonation. Finishes spicy and lightly sweet. Brew provided by crizay. Thanks Chris!

Tap at Allen’s. Hazy golden-orange. Fairly spicy aorma, clove and allspice, some ginger over a rich pumpkiny character. Fairly sweet with a honeyish malt character. Earthy bitterness and a soft sweetness. Sweet fruity esters in addition to the spiciness. Nice pumpkin ale.
