A brew arrives, you’d best believe,
Amber in hue, with spice a’plenty,
Sev’n percent ABV, IBU four and twenty.

The pumpkin flav’r plentiful,
Vanilla makes things round.
You’ll smile with every sip or two,
And listen for the sound.

The sound of Howling Gourds is heard
Above the Autumn din.
Carved into Jack O’Lantern smiles,
Their screams will guide you in.

$1.17 bottle, TJs-Cho. Crystal clear gold with an off-white head. Aroma is nutmeg, cinnamon sugar, caramel. Artificial smelling, but not bad. Flavor is cinnamon, nutmeg, caramel, brown leaf, clove. I'm finding this quite enjoyable.

Pours a dark amber from a bottle. Pumpkin and light spice aroma and flavor, I've had better tasting pumpkin beers better though. Okay beer.

Bottle from the TJ's in Davis, CA. Pours clear copper with a yellowish head. Aroma has lots of pie spice. Med body. Flavor is very pie spice. The spice nearly burns with cinnamon. Ok, an exageration, but lots of spice. Not quite dry. Spice substitutes for hop bitter. One of the nicer, more flavorful ones from the style.

12 ounce bottle from Trader Joe's Brookfield, 9/19/19. Clear copper, thin fizzy tan head, decent retention. Aroma of pumpkin, vanilla, toast, mild spice. Taste is pumpkin flesh and skin? Something oddly green. Toast, spice, vanilla, apple skins. Thin-medium bodied, mild lingering spice.
