A big-bodied beer with a pleasing aroma of pumpkin and nutmeg.
Pale Ale, Wheat, and Light Munich malts combine with the natural tannin in pumpkin and the delicate spiciness of Saphir and Hallertau Hops to balance the sweetness of the fruit.
This beer is best enjoyed at 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bottle at Craig’s. It pours deep amber with a decent white head. The nose is sweet, sugary, butternut squash, pumpkin, candy and veg. The taste is bitter-sweet, pumpkin, squash, some acidity, candy and sugar with a dry, sort if sweet finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty sweet and sugary... Not for me.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a hazy copper/orange colored body with a very thin slightly bubbly head that dies before it was even noticed. The body was too dark for any carbonation to be seen rising.
The smell had nutmeg, cinnamon along with some light cream and vanilla, pumpkin was very subdued.
The taste was basically the same with a semi-bittersweet finish, combined nicely between the sweeter flavorings and the bitterness.
On the palate, it sat about a medium with some slight sharpness here and there on the tongue. This wasn’t a very drinkable beer - one bomber and done (if one could do the whole thing).
Overall, I’m honestly not that impressed at least for me, but for the \"pumpkin\" style this is good, if you’re into that sort of thing.

9% Bottle, served in a snifter. It’s lighter than the Uinta Punk’n more of a honey brown with a thick foamy off-white head. The aroma is fruity, then the spices kick in - cinnamon & nutmeg. The taste is quite spicy, pleasantly sweet but more like a soda than a beer. Kind of reminds me of something like a Shirley Temple or Cherry Coke kind of vibe. A medium body & you don’t get that 9% at all. Too sweet & candy like for me. Think of this as the Halloween candy of pumpkin beers. Nice enough though.

Bottle - Spices, orange, pumpkin and booze. Clear orange gold with a quickly dissipating head. Pumpkin, burnt orange, booze and spices. Tastes more like a liquore with its rich boozy quality.

Beer #5. Bomber. Aroma is exactly like pumpkin pie. Pour is slightly hazy orange with a medium off-white head. Taste is sweet and savory with a licorice undertone that the other beers thus far haven’t had. Not bad but I was expecting more.

Draft. Hazy bright amber color, medium white head. Aroma of clove, cinnamon, gourd. Taste is sweet and malty, caramel mixed spice. Nice velvety, rich mouthfeel, not too much alcohol.

This pumpkin ale poured a cloudy orange colour with a minimal, white frothy head. Scents include pumpkin, allspice and cream. First taste had flavours of cinnamon, allspice and light hops. Medium bodied with an almost creamy mouthfeel. Finish is minimally bitter with spice flavours lingering.

Bottle: Bright, fresh copper color with a very short lived head. Oddly enough, it seems to have a oil slick type sheen on the surface. Nose is floral and light pumpkin, just a little nutmeg. Flavor is floral and pumpkin up front, nutmeg and cinnamon gathering in the tail. It finishes heavy in the spice and somewhat dry. Paired well with pork.
