In celebration of the fall harvest. Here's an autumn favorite that's as enjoyable as pumpkin pie. This hearty ale is brewed with cinnamon, allspice, cloves and vanilla. Look for a full body and amber color. We're sure you'll enjoy this special brew.

Bottled 355ml. -Quite different than other pumpkin beers I’ve tried so far. Reddish/pale amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, spicy nose dominated by cinnamon. Caramel, fruits and cinnamon without any noticable pumpkin presence. Maybe just a little too sweet but otherwise easy-drinkable beer.

bottle - Pours clear amber with a small off-white head. It has a malty, spicy aroma with a touch of vanilla. Taste is sweet malt, spice, and some pumpkin along with some grainy flavors. It’s light to medium bodied. Ok.

Bottled at Beertemple, A’dam. Amber color, short head. Aroma of cold pumpkin soup, spicy, slight hop. Same taste. I would like to see this cooked on a plate, and a bit thicker, it would make an excellent soup. Probably decent brewed, but very uninteresting as a beer.

Bottle: Poured a clear dark ruby color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of light pumpkin with notes of cinnamon and cloves more perceptible then I had expected. Taste is also dominated by cloves and cinnamon which are well balanced with pumpkin and light caramel malt. Body is a bit light for my own taste with good carbonation. Some additional character and more body would have greatly benefited this beer which is still very enjoyable.
