Poured from a bottle clear orange with no head. Prominent pumpkin spice aroma that is not overwhelming. Very faint citrus hops. Also a little roasted malt flavor. Slightly oily on the palate with modest carbonation. I would say not a bad pumpkin ale, although generally I am not a huge fan.

12oz bottle. Aroma of pumpkin, the spices, some pale/caramel malts, and floral hops. Flavor the same with nothing sticking out. Average texture. A decent pumpkin ale.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber. Small white head. Big aroma of nutmeg and other pumpkin spices. Mild flavor with a spice aftertaste. Medium palate. The aroma was the best part of this one. Taste was just average among pumpkin beers. Still, always fun to try different season stuff.

from a bottle, shown. smells like sweet pumpkin spices. taste is much less sweet yet pumpkin thing comes thru with an unsweetened pumpkin flavor and spices associated with such fruit. not bad overall and a tad better than the average pumpkin beer. Gets a little better towards the end and I think I detect a slight tartness there.

This is not the best pumpkin beer on the market but its also is not the worst. I picked up almost zero actual pumpkin flavor and was overwhelmed by pumpkin pie spice. The only redeeming quality is the really nice golden orange color. I wont drink this again.

This is better than most of the mediocre pumpkin beers i have had lately simply because you can taste a hint of pumpkin in this beer and it isnt overpowered by the accompanying spices.

12 oz. bottle. Pours clear copper with a small head. Smells an awful lot like pumpkin pie. Really nicely done. Flavor starts sharp and lemony, with the pumpkin, cinnamon, and ginger ale. Thin, but pleasant drinking.

I love pumpkin beers, so I am always looking for a new one to try. This one didn’t disappoint either. On the nose it smells a lot like pumpkin pie. The flavors follow suit as well. This one is a bit more subtle then what I’m used to with pumpkin beers. A lot of them tend to be very robust I would describe this one as a bit more mild but still very nice. Very drinkable. Worth a try for sure..
