Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7
Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a semi-hazy ruddy burnt orange color with a thin cap of a white head. Foamy yet fizzling bubbliness.
The aroma, obviously was pumpkin and coming across slightly sweet. No spices extra were added. Slightly grassy hop bitterness.
The flavor leans pumpkin sweet. Fleshiness wants to show some oomph but there’s a degree of acceptable vegetal taste. Once again, grassy hop bitterness is there. Lingering pumpkin/vegetal aftertaste. Hops and pumpkin finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent hop bitterness rolling about. Carbonation feels good, fairly low.
Overall, reminiscent of Sixpoint’s Autumnation with a rugged bitter hoppiness intertwining with a sweet pumpkin flavor. Good for what it is.
