On tap at Great Lakes, pours a clear copper with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out lots of pumpkin pur�e and light pumpkin spices. Flavour is light, with pumpkin pur�e, nutmeg, and light cinnamon. Very light on the palate, but it's clean and decently constructed. Solid.

Nice pumpkin beer - good spice but doesn’t mask the pumpkin flavor at all.

Can, many thanks radimd. Hazy orange golden color with white head. Aroma of malt, pumpkin spices, light hops. Taste, malt followed by nice pumkin pie spices, cinnamon, cloves and other, notes of caramel. Good.

22 ounce bottle into signature pint glass, best before 1/28/2016. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, allspice, peppercorn, brown sugar, light caramel, toasted biscuit, and herbal/spice earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of pumpkin/spices, dark/bready malt, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of big pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, allspice, peppercorn, brown sugar, light caramel, toasted biscuit, and herbal/spice earthiness. Light-moderate herbal spice/hop bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, allspice, peppercorn, brown sugar, toasted biscuit, and herbal/spice earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of pumpkin/spices, dark/bready malt, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from spice/bitterness as well. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and fairly creamy/bready/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish as expected of 5.4%. Overall this is a damn nice pumpkin ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of pumpkin/spices, dark/bready malt, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Draft. Clear deep amber color. The spice and the gourd are subtle enough in this one. Tasty.

Growler courtesy of crizay. Thanks a lot Chris. It poured clear gold with white head. The aroma is pumpkin up front followed by mild nutmeg. Spot on aroma with real nice smelling pumpkin. The liquid enters a bit thin feebly ushering in pumpkin, nutmeg and cinnamon. The spices soon fade leaving a tasty pumpkin flavor nearly behind about by midway. The pumpkin shines through into the after taste with only faint spiciness. Nice sessionability.
