Can. A- Pie spice, nutmeg, brown sugar, clove, allspice. A- Copper color, clear liquid, beige head. T- Pie spice, gourd, nutmeg. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- This was delightful. A nice balanced brew that wasn't overwhelmed with spice. Perhaps a bit past the best by date but still held up. Maybe I haven't had a pumpkin beer in some time but this was nice.

Nice crisp and pretty hazy orange and amber coloured body with a nice glow and a thinnish, single to two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of very strong pumpkin pie spice with a lot of allspice and canella along with a good hit of nutmeg and anise. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong rich squash flavour comes out with a lot of richness along with a punch of the spices front and centre with a good nutty, rustic quality as well, with a good sweetness towards the end. Aftertaste shows a great blend of the nutty, earthy qualities, with a bunch of nice seasonal spices and a great richness from the malt and squash, especially. Overall, a very nice and enjoyable beer with a nice seasonal spiciness that isn't too much, but shows a lot of flavours and quality, especially with the rich squash notes throughout, especially in the nose and a good sweetness as well, with some moderate alcohol that hits at the end. Great to sample and well worth trying to find, especially if you like pumpkin-based beers. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Beverage in Thornton, Colorado on 30-January-2022 for US$2,40, canned on 27-August-2021 and sampled on 26-November-2022 after returning from Thanksgiving in Connecticut.

Canned September 2nd, from Beer Drop.
It pours a clear deep gold with a fine layer of foam.
It smells of pumpkin spices, with a sharp aroma that catches my attention but not in a good way.
Good spices of pumpkin but again, I am getting a sharpness of spice or whatever that doesn't agree with me. Good enough mouthfeel. I am not a fan.

12 oz. Aroma is strong pumpkin pie spices--clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla. Pours nearly clear orange with a fleeting bone-white head. Taste is sweet, spicy, savor, a little boozy. Great pumpkin beer.

Can - lightly cloudy amber - nose heavy with roasted pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla - soft carbonation - medium sweet - heavy in the toasty, earthy pumpkin without being too vegetal - moderately spicy - finish gets a little murky and dull, but leaves a nice warming sensation on the palate - overall pretty good.

12 oz. can. Hazy, bronze color, with no head. Strong cloves, pumpkin flesh, mild earthy hops, toffee, and whole grains. Lightly sweet or maybe even a bit dry, with a mild bitterness. Medium body, sticky, very clingy, and thick. This is a pretty solid, oddly and nicely dry, pumpkin beer.
