3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/2022-oz bottle sent my way via trade with jah noth. Pours harvest orange with a small, fizzy, off-white head, somewhat diminishing with spare, if any, lacing. Somewhat disappointing on the lack of head or lace. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, cereal, straw, biscuit), average hops (grass, herbs), average yeast (dough, leaves) with notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and brown sugar. There is an interesting mix of lightly buttered biscuits and sugar cookies that permeates above all the typical "pumpkin beer" spices that is rather intriguing and inviting in a raw dough kind of way. The pumpkin is not too much nor too little yet is much more present than most pumpkin beers. Medium bodied, aided by the uncharacteristically high alcohol content, alcoholic texture, average carbonation that fizzles away rapidly, and a chalky yet dry finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness. I am quite taken by this pumpkin beer as it seems to nail the one thing others cannot - it gives the pumpkin flavor along with spices (typical) but also adds a freshly baked crust to the aroma and flavor.

22oz bomber. Pours a bright golden orange color with little to no head. that diminished very quickly. Aroma of fresh pumpkin, nutmeg, vanilla, and cloves. Taste is similar to the nose, but better. Closest pumpkin beer i've had to tasting like actual pumpkin pie. Flavors of real pumpkin, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, and graham cracker.

Bright clear orange-amber with an off white head and substantial lacing. This beer actually smells like pumpkin pie, and tastes like it as well, but with booze. Lots of pumpkin to go along with the spice. Medium bodied; a little dry. Very nice.

Ohh damn that’s good. I can’t believe its beer. Just what you were looking for in an awesome pumpkin brew. Man this one will put you in Fall on an unseasonably cool day in the middle of Spring in Texas.

Rich, buttery, malty, creamy pumpkin aroma. Pumpkin colored, with a rapidly dissapating thin head. Similar to the nose, this beer tastes creamy on the palate, with the pumpkin shining through as well as a bit of spice (cinnamon predominates). Lightly carbonated and a bit light compared to what the aroma suggests. Alcohol is well hidden. Unique, nice take on the style.

taken from notes - 750 ml bottle yasted at Sloshfest - thank you Jeffrey. Pours a weird kind of yellow-orange (coppery) with a decent white creamy head. Aroma of spices, a lot of cinammon, some nutmeg and cloves. Light body with taste notes of carrot & pecan pie (?!)... Weird but OK.

Smells very strange. Yes I know pumpkin of course. Taste is really good but the taste is very off. The aftertaste is left for a while. According to me, this beer is undrinkable. This is the first beer ever I every had to pour out. I know many love this beer, but it was not for me.

Incredibly good pumpkin ale -- and I’m not a big pumpkin fan! Strong spicy scent reminiscent of pumpkin pie. Taste continues this theme, with strong and spicy nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin notes over a solid and sweet malty base. Spice notes linger nicely. This is just Good. Even the pour is orange colored! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
