Pours hazy with no head. It smells of chai spices, apples, and a little pumpkin. The flavor is sweet with apples, chai, and pumpkin, of course, It's sweet but not overly sugary.

Draught at Yarde Tavern, 9/28/24. My girlfriend ordered this and I tried some. Clear, muted bronze. Fizzy. Sweet, sugary, spicy. Some apple juice character. Same in the flavor. Just the barest minimum of apple and way too sweet, of course. I've had worse offenders, sugar and spice-wise, but it's still the bottom of the barrel here.

Aromas are basically pumpkin pie with just maybe a hint of apple. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, with lots of cinnamon coming out followed by some nutmeg and pumpkin again a hint of apple. On the tart side with some sweet in the finish. If you're into the pumpkin pie thing then this might be for you; for me not so much.

Draft at Cheeky Monkey. Poured a really hazy bright yellow color with a small head. Aroma was really nice gourdy notes, ginger, cinnamon, allspice. Delicious pumpkin pie spices. Decent stuff.
