Clear amber pour. Smells of fall spices and caramel. Tastes of fall spices, caramel, and maybe pumpkin. Overly sweet.

Really nice pumpkin ale with pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg and with the light sweetness it’s like biting into a piece of pumpkin pie.

Bottle at Quarles Fest 2025 at Beth's in Chesapeake. Expired in Feb, can't find the year. Tastes like a malty pumpkin soda with artificial flavoring, that's about all I can describe about it. Not really my cup of pumpkin beer.

Bottle. Dark orange- brown with a two finger head. Aroma is a lot of pumpkin spice. Taste is even more pumpkin spice. Actually too much.

Pumpkin, allspice nose. Clear copper, thin head. Orange, allspice, cola. Light body, easy carbonation. I don't hate spice beers, but they really aren't any good if they don't have a little weight. This was too light.
