Hazy lemon yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of clove & nutmeg - basically pumpkin pie spice. The flavor is sweet, rather lemony, nothing like the aroma. thin and watery - what might be refreshing in July. Soda like.

12 oz. can gifted by a buddy because he knew I would never buy this. Unclear yellow appearance, thin head. Aroma is light lemons, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove. Flavor is lemons, all spice, ginger and nutmeg. Yet, it doesn’t say to me lemonade either, more wheat beer based. Thin wheaty texture with a mild citrus tartness underneath the spice. Not as awful as I was expecting but I’m sure not running out to buy any.

Ginger, honey grahams, butter, pumpkin, cinnamon nose. Hazy amber, thick head. Lemony and light, with subtle graham cracker and ginger notes. Light body, soft. Complex but easily sessionable. Pretty well executed for what this beer is supposed to be. Surprisingly nice.

Pour is a lemon-aid looking cloudy yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is actually pretty good. Pretty much all allspice with some citrus tartness. Flavor is pumpkin pie spice with a nice bready pie crust aftertaste. Finish leaves more spice on the tongue. I can’t get over how much of a pie crust flavor you get with this. This was actually pretty good. If you like pumpkin flavors but don’t like the heaviness of pumpkin beers this would be for you.

I thought for a second this might be a pumpkin shandy. Sounds interesting. It isn’t. Its a wheat beer with pumpkin pie spice. I can’t even figure out how its a shandy, its not. Hey Leinenkugels you suck for this. I hate you. Smells like pumpkin pie, which would be good, if it was a pumpkin pie. Buts a beer. And it took me 10 minutes just to force a sip. Tasted like pie spice and crappy wheat beer. Well that’s what it is. There’s a lot of really crappy gimmicky flavored beers flooding the market noawadays and this epitomizes all thats wrong with that. Leinies used to make some decent lagers. Now they just make shit. Fuck whoever came up with this idea.

Crisp light amber coloured body with hints of orange and a nice thinnish tan head. Aroma of Pumpkins, sour grapes, light yeast and a touch of lemons and spice. Light-bodied; Strong squash flavour with a lot of spice notes, some grass and hay elements, but the light sour and citrus flavour shows through near the end as well. Aftertaste shows the squash and spice, but this is a relatively easy-to-drink and simplistic beer, and to be perfectly honest - not all that bad. Overall, a decent beer with good pumpkin and spice flavour, but not much malt - meaning an easy-to-drink beer that shows surprisingly well! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Giant in Leesburg, Virginia on 29-August-2015.

From a bottle. It is better than I expected. I do not get the wheat beer flavors at all, but the clove and nutmeg are there. Generally artificial pumpkin pie spices.

This was poured into a can glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt yellow to orange color with a two finger white foamy to somewhat bubbly head that dissipated within less than about twenty seconds. There was a decent sticky foamy lacing around the glass.
The smell started off with a light ginger spice and then let’s in a nice vanilla. Pumpkin ends up coming in nicely and authentic.
The taste was malty sweet with a nice light pumpkin pie - esque flavor, lightly spiced. There’s a light sweet sticky pumpkin pie aftertaste. Sweet sticky finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was mainly subdued. Sweet sticky swollen notes roll across my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good pumpkin ale. That’s what I took it as.

12 oz can from the fall shandy variety pack bought at Super 1 in Post Falls, ID. Pumpkin beer #1. Aroma is as good as the best pumpkin beers, actually. Packed with all the expected spices; nutmeg seems strongest. Pours cloudy yellow-orange with a collapsing white head. Taste is a strange mix of pumpkin and shandy, as described; sweet and lightly tart. Tastes good, though. Body is paper thin, watery mouthfeel. Interesting, but not much depth.
