There are three things we have learned to never discuss with people here: religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin. But that doesn’t mean we can’t welcome our own Great PumpCan and sing pumpkin carols and enjoy MadTree’s way of delivering some delicious pumpkin ale flavor right to your gullet.

Draught @ M&M's Taphouse, Barberton OH (Oct 2025). Clear reddish copper with a small foamy beige head, faint caramel aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter caramel malt taste with pumpkin flavor, smooth body, long finish. Nice pumpkin ale.

My can just says Pumpcan on it, nothing about 'the great' on label but it is 7.9% so I guess this is it. Pop the lid and the nose is certainly yer typical pumpkin spice beer. It pours a darker brown. First big swig is a big dose of malty brew. No hint of the alky content on the nose nor in the first taste. Spices are quite muted. Yea, I'm surprised how well this brew hides its near 8% content. In the middle, there is a slight warming sensation going down the gullet but this malty brew with laid back spices remains friendly on the taste buds. Easy going and friendly, this malty beer acts quite like many decent red irish beers I’ve had. Decent mild cutting co2 in there as well. Near the end, the stiffness of the alky content finally starts to shade thru, but in the finish it remains quite quaffable. Glad I picked this one up, better than expected.

On draught at Kraft House No. 5 during the "Mad Tree Tap Takeover: Featuring The Great Pumpcan" event on 09/14/2017. The beer is a clear orange-amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of malt, pumpkin spice and fruit. Medium body with flavors of roast malt, cinnamon, nutmeg and caramel. The finish is pumpkin spices and malt. Decent overall.

12oz can thanks to Jeff. Pours out a rusty amber topped with a sand head. Nose is light pumpkin more squash and earthy tones with some spice. Taste is more of the earthy notes a little sweetness and the spice.

Can. Light nutmeg and pumpkin caramel malt aroma. Dark amber with moderate light tan head. Very lightly sweet nutmeg, pumpkin malt, and mildly bitter herbal flavor. Great flavor and minimal sweetness - a nice change of pace.
