The best way to describe this is a pumpkin summer ale. Pours a very light golden color. This is a very different pumpkin beer from the thick pumpkin pie in a glass variety. Very light in color with a refreshing, wheat, cinnamon and nutmeg taste. Light in mouthfeel without being watery. I think the wheat flavor profile works well with the pumpkin and spice flavors.

Heavy spicy aroma, cinnamon. Light amber, hazy, has a white head, mostly diminishing. Aroma with lots of spice, too much. Sweet and watery flavor, more spice. Watery, creamy texture.

12oz bottle, clear yellow with a light foamy head, with a strong spice aroma the beer is ok, but I do like the pumpkin taste in this one. It doesn’t taste like a pumpkin pie; the spices and nutmeg do not kill the beer. I just wish it was a little better beer taste. I like the idea of rimming the glass with cinnamon and sugar. Next beet, I plan on trying this, thanks for the tip.

Tap at Green Dragon PDX. Really highlights the pumpkin and sweet spices. Honey aroma, really refreshing.

Pours light orange with a fizzy white head that fades quickly and leaves no lacing. Smells of spices, wheat, and a touch of pumpkin. Tastes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Mouthfeel is light and chewy. Not that great for a pumpkin beer, but not the worst either.
