Pours a orange amber with a delicate white top. Aroma is a hint of spice, pumpkin and malt. Taste is well balanced, and nicely subtle. Spice is muted which is nice for me, malt is there but again just a hint and a pumpkin warmth. Nice seasonal.

[on tap]
Star anise aroma with some eggnog sweet and spiciness. Hazy red-amber with a tawny ring. Slightly smoky anise flavour that imparts a spice bitterness. Relatively dry but with an appropriately subtle bitterness. Light to medium body, moderate to medium carbonation, spicy finish.

En fût aux BDT. 5.5%. Couleur rousse-orangée. Arôme d’épices, particulièrement de muscade, de citrouille. En bouche notes de miel, citrouille, malt. Assez douce, mais un peu mince. Bonne beer mais un peu moins bien réussie que la McAuslan Citrouille.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Enjoyed at the BDT brewpub. Orange colour with some lace. Thinnish for a pumpkin, good drinkability, like a soft drink. Some spice, pumpkin in the aroma. Its in the style though not the best representative of it.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
In short: A sweet and typical uber-spicy pumpkin beer
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Cloudy amber body topped by a very small beige head
In long: Nose has the typical spiciness that we find in so-called pumpkin ales (most don’t even have any pumkins). Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, etc. Taste is really like a pumpkin pie. The sweet malts have a pie crust type of character and the spices remind us of pumpkin desserts. A bit too sweet for my liking. Mouthfeel was kind of dull, making me wonder if my pint was from the autumn batch (I was about 6 months after Halloween). I am really not found of pumpkin beers to start with and this one was just an average example of the genre. I don’t care for pumpkins, but halloween just wouldn’t be the same if we carved scary faces on chickpeas

Draught at the brewpub. Pours a clear deep amber with a small creamy off-white head. Nice aroma has just the right amount of pumpkin and spices, backed by sweet malt. Flavour of pumpkin and spices, slightly mild, along with sweet malt. Average bodied. Pretty good.
