16 ounce can into pint glass; no can dating, but was just released. Pours slightly hazy deep orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with moderate streaming carbonation. Aromas of big pumpkin, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, clove, biscuit, light caramel, herbal, grass, and herbal/spice earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of pumpkin, spice, and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big pumpkin, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, clove, biscuit, light caramel, herbal, grass, and herbal/spice earthiness. Slight earthy/spice bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of pumpkin, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, biscuit, light caramel, grass, and herbal/spice earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of pumpkin, spice, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/spice balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish as expected of 5%. Overall this is an excellent low ABV pumpkin ale! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of pumpkin, spices, and bready malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Michigan Brewing Screamin Pumpkin Spiced Ale (by Michigan Brewing Company):
Aroma: 7/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 7/10, Palate: 2/5, Overall: 14/20, MyTotalScore: 3.4/5
27/III/2012 - 355ml bottle @ home - BB: n/a (2012-292) Thanks to Cory and kelly for the bottle!
Little cloudy deep orange beer, big irregular creamy head, adhesive, pretty stable. Aroma: lots of cloves, cinnamon, some ginger, more cloves, bit sugary, although that last could be my mind playing tricks on me with all of these pastry aromas. MF: soft carbon, light to medium body. Taste: lots of spices, mainly cinnamon and cloves, orange peel, gingerbread. Aftertaste: bitter, lots of spices, more cloves and cinnamon, bitter, little metallic, green banana.

Bottle: Poured an orangey color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of cinnamon and cloves is quite strong with light pumpkin notes. Taste is also a nice mix between some strong notes of cinnamon and cloves with light pumpkin and some semi-sweet caramelized malt. Body is average with good carbonation. Well brewed with just about right amount of spices.

Bottle. Pretty copper color with a small white head. Aroma of pumpkin, nutmeg, vanilla, and sweet caramel. Flavor was right in keeping with the aroma: spicy pumpkin pie, sweet caramel malt, and vanilla. This is my first pumpkin ale and it was everything I expected a spiced pumpkin ale would taste like. Very nice.

bottle - Pours hazy orange with a small white head. It smells like pumpkin pie with lots of pumpkin and spice, especially cinnamon. The flavor is sweet, spicy pumpkin and some bitterness in the finish that unfortunately tastes a little off. I think a more robust malt profile would have helped this one, but it’s alright.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark caramel-amber color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was strong nutmeg and cinnamon. The flavor was bitter nutmeg and cinnamon and had a light dry malty undertone and a hint of hut. The finish was long and spicy. Nicely done.
