12 oz. can from Spec's, Boerne, TX. Happy Easter! Pours a semi-clear orange-bronze color with a small beige head and fair retention. Fair lacing too. Aroma of pumpkin and light spices. The taste follows the nose. Pumpkin and caramel flavor mixed with mellow pie spices. As the can suggests, this has more beer flavor than most pumpkin beers. It’s not just a spice bomb. Low carbonation. Medium-light body. Soft mouthfeel and finish. Not bitter. Good, and repeatable.

Pour is a hazy orange with no head at all. Aroma is decent pie spice, nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavor is spice heavy but there is a bit of sourness before the swallow. A nice spice to this beer but this is a perfect example of a pumpkin ale made too soon. The canned on date is July 17th, this is probably already at the end of it's shelf life.

Can. Cinnamon, nutmeg, sour milk, pumpkin, caramel malt, and hay aroma. Hazy golden yellow with small head. Moderately sweet orange, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin malt, moderately sour milk, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Okay body.

Can: Cloudy, amber-orange with a thin white head. Scent is natural pumpkin innards.....almost like cutting a real one open. Taste is straightforward raw pumpkin..a smidge of caramel malt, pumpkin-style spices. A little peppery and dry. Props for being carefully done.....very natural and not saturated with spices..... how a pumpkin beer should be.

12 ounce can. Hazy orange gold color. Large dense creamy beige head. Slightly vegetal malt nose has all the obligatory pumpkin pie spices. The first sip is slightly tart and light in body. Spice notes seem more subdued. Bready, yeasty notes border on sour. Tasty, yet not quite distinctive. Another average pumpkin brew.

Tap. Pours lightly hazy orange, medium fizzy off white head, dissipates to minimal residual and lacing. Aroma is cinnamon, allspice, pumpkin. Flavor is medium plus sweet, minimal bitterness, a bit vegetal with plenty of pumpkin spice. Light body, low carbonation. Meh was likely coined as a way to effectively define this beer.

Deep copper coloured body with a thinnish, two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of canella, nutmeg, earth, caramel and quite a bit of peanuts. Medium-bodied; Strong nutty and spicey flavour at first that’s followed by a nice caramelised sugar flavour and some subdued fruits, all very noticeable with the squash as a malting agent. Aftertaste is complex and very nice for the style. Overall, a nice beer to sample and a good beer for the season! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from the Class VI at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska on 26-October-2015 for US$8,99/six pack, sampled on the train to New York on 03-December-2015.
