Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Pumpkin aromas. Hot with sweet cinnamon and ginger upfront turning to sourdough in the dry, medium-length finish.

16oz can from Tavour. Milky yellow pour, thick, creamy white head. Aroma is lactose with light pumpkin pie spice notes. Taste is vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom. Mild pumpkin flavors too. Creamy, rich.

Pint can from Niemuth's, 10/7/24. Hazy orange, medium beige head, average retention. Aroma of pumpkin, gingerbread. This is an IPA? Hmm.... Taste is the same but with some citrus. Tasty, but it's not an IPA by any stretch.

Blood orange, squash nose. Cloudy amber, medium head. Allspice, ginger, peanut hull, orange. Full body, easy carbonation. Expected a mess, actually enjoyed it. I wouldn't drink it regularly, but I'd drink 2-3 in a sesh.

Floral fruity nose with lots of hops. Great fruity floral hazy IPA with a nice herbal hops, milk sugar and pumpkin. Fruity nice finish, great spicy fruity pumpkin over a classic hazy IPA. Nice.

16 oz can. I dig the label art. Aroma is vanilla, clove, nutmeg. A lot of times milkshake, IPAs can get too sweet. This one doesn’t. Mostly due to the amount ofspice. Not a whole lot of gourd but the vanilla and the spices are here. Better then I thought otherwise would be.

Super hazy golden and straw body with a very thick, four to five centimetre tall creamy tan microfoamed head that tops the beer for a long time, over top of the 90 per cent opaque body with some chunky notes floating throughout. Aroma of nutmeg, allspice, pumpkin pie notes, lactose, white chocolate, some relatively strong grainy malts, with a light crisp hop scent here, too. Full-bodied; Very rich, super creamy, lactosey and strong pumpkin/squash notes bring out the depth and support for the lighter, but still noticeable spice notes of allspice, some nutmeg and a kick of lactose, too - very nice and super complex, with some mild hops here, as well. Aftertaste shows a ton of white chocolate, malty, spicey and pretty complex bitter pungency, but nice and full of flavour, with some cream and lactose that helps with the squash here to define this. Overall, a very nice, ultra-complex beer that seems to hit all the right notes at the right times, with good sugars here, too, but not really enough hops here at all to be called an 'IPA' in the slightest. Still an amazing, complex beer that should be sampled if you can find it, but don't expect an IPA! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from GlenRo Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 05-September-2022 for US$4,49, canned on 12-October-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-October-2022.
