Sweet notes of creamy pumpkin pie, supplemented by hints of sugar and spice, across a clean and crisp 8% ale.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to snifter.
Appearance: auburn/copper color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet pumpkin flesh, light ginger, some cinnamon, light biscuity malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together sweetly and an underlying spice note; mild aftertaste of just the pumpkin
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, spices seem to hit a bit more than expected on the tongue but nothing I see as a flaw or distracting, finishes pumpkiny with the spices.
Overall: I say great imperial pumpkin ale worthy of returning to.

5 oz. Aroma is mild gourd, soft cinnamon, nutmeg. Flavor is cinnamon, gourd, and nutmeg. Pretty standard pumpkin ale that is mostly spice based.

Pours hazy deep gold into a tulip. White head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon aromas. Thick with tart pumpkin, multigrain sourdough and a hint of cocoa upfront turning to earthy pith in the dry, medium length finish.

Kind of disappointing. Flat, pumpkin taste. There Should be more body, and less artificial taste. Heβs here. Five months later.

Can at home. Clear orange brew. Nose is light pumpkin spicing some fleshy squash. Tastes of nutmeg and cloves and cinnamon but subdued and not over powering, pumpkin is present and tastes like flesh should. Booze not present unlike other offerings Iβve had from these guys. Taste lingers.
