Pouring a nice looking clear orange. The aroma is a sickly sweet vanilla peach fuzz. Light bodied with a weird cottony mouthfeel. The taste is grainy sweet and then artificial vanilla flavoring. Yuck, they should have at least googled pumpkin beer recipes before making this...

Can from the supermarket near work. Drank straight from the can. Vanilla all over the nose with some light sugar and A & W cream soda. Taste is sweet, but not overly so with some light pumpkin on the finish. Flavors are very artificial tasting and some a little too creamy of a texture. Slight metallic character as well in the finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Craft Select The Pumpkin on 14 Oct 2015 at 18:46 - Score: 4

Can. Vanilla in the nose, plus a bit of spice and carmel, and maybe pumpkin, I don’t really know. Kind of chalky as well. Rther unpleasant, to be sure. Looks nice enough, amber-orange with a tll head and hazy. Tstes like vanilla powder mixed with chalk. Spicy, light fruity pumpkin. Hmmm. Not as horrible as some have said. Give them credit for trying, and not a drain pour. The spicing is all wrong, but it isn’t too sweet and ok otherwise.
