(Draught) Served way too cold. Poured amber and clear. Formed a small and white head. Spices and malts in not so pleasant aroma. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. I noticed malts, spices, sweetness and bitterness in taste. Aftertaste was spicy and bitter. Easily forgettable.

Draft today at a harvest festival. Nose of weak spices. The coors light plastic cup did not help much to set a decent tone, but neither did every aqua-net whore and Jersey Guido wannabe Yankee fan that seemed to appear at this upstate festival. A nice orangish amber in the cup with at fizzy head. first sip reveals a medium body with a good bit of chalkiness. Pumpkin finally arrives in a funky finish. Some other spice tones pop out here and there. Lackluster.

Nice orange color, light colored head. Smells of hops and a slight pumpkin smell. However, the beer is lacking in pumpkin flavor, the hops overpower any flavors in the beer. dull ’’vegetable like’’ after taste. Not one of my favorites

Pours a deep golden orange color with a huge white fluffy head. Aroma of wheat and clove. Taste of wheat with a slight hint of pumpkin. Nice texture. Nice brew.

Amber pour with off white tight foamy head and lace. Pumpkin spice and malt on the nose. Pumpkin, clove, medium bitter and a hint of abv. Foamy medium bodied beer. Nice full bitter pleasant surprise.

bottled. pours amber with a large cream colored head. nothing noted other than hops and alcohol on the nose. flavors are lacking and dilute. some nutmeg, and a touch of bitterness from orange peel, but very mild. of the pumkin ales i’ve had this is my least favorite.

Cask at Chelsea Cask Fest. Mild pumpkin & pie spice in the aroma. Some nutmeg and allspice. Flavor is very thin, vegetal. Brussel sprouts and eggplant. Odd. Muddy, minor pie spice flavor. Pretty dull, tough to drink.

Cask at Manhattan Cask Fest. Amber beer with no head. Aroma is lightly spicy with a bit of allspice/clove and nutmeg. Light caramel but the body is really quite thin. Strange papery/metallic off-flavour. Meh... a bit uninspired.
