3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 joshwoodward (218) - - NOV 13, 2012Surprisingly enjoyable. I’m not usually a pumpkin beer fan, but since I liked Jolly Pumpkin’s La Parcela sour, I gave this a try. Other than a subtle mint gum flavor, this had great pumpkin notes as it warmed up, without too much of the distracting spice. A touch of sourness, not as much as JP.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 HonusWagner (892) - Florida, USA - APR 15, 2013
A bit like drinking a lemon-lime soda with some slight tartness that had a bag of pumpkin spice mix dropped into it for a couple minutes to add flavor. Obviously this scarcely resembles lambic, with no funk and a sourness more akin to, like, jelly beans or something that isn’t beer, but nevertheless a tasty and interesting surprise.

Off and chemicaly. Tastes like bandaids and lemons with very light pumpkin? Im not sure I would have even guessed there was anything pumpkin about this lightly tart plastically brown ale had the work pumpkin not been in the name.

Bottle: The aroma consists of pumpkin, nutmeg, ginger, lemon solveny/cleaner, and faint mustiness. It pours a slightly hazy amber with a two finger white head. There is some sporadic webbing left on the sides of the glass. The flavor starts with a quick dose of pumpkin. The finish has ginger and nutmeg mixed with some sweet and sour lemon. It’s light-medium bodied with lively carbonation. Overall, more pumpkin beer than Lambic.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle. The beer pours an orange color with a large white head. The aroma is full of pumpkin with some lemon notes and some nutmeg. The flavor is similar. I get some pumpkins and vanilla notes, as well as some cinnamon and nutmeg. There is also some sweetness and sugar notes as well as a hint of funk and tartness. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
