Beer Republic Advent Calendar 2025, Red Edition. Door 19. An amber beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has spicyness, but not too much, pumpkin, some sweetness. Taste has balanced spicyness and pumpkin. Medium bodied. Pumpkin ales are not my favourite, but this is pretty ok.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt orange almost copper color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated immediately.
No lace.
The aroma had some pumpkin sweetness, light ginger, allspice, doughy malts, caramel sweetness and some leather.
The flavor was moderately sweet with the spices not blending as well as I had hoped for. Aftertaste was disengaged from spices to malts. Finish was spicy.
The palate was between light and medium bodied. Low sessionability. Decent carbonation. ABV felt fine.
Overall, better pumpkin ales on the market, probably not again for me.

12 oz. can purchased at the Beer Store, Nashua for $1.75 U.S. Clear copper /orange color without much head of any kind. Aroma is gourd upfront with light caramel malt with weak allspice in the back side.
Overall, pretty standard pumpkin brew. Flavor of caramel malt base, nutmeg, all spice and a touch of authentic pumpkin (not pie filling). The body is on the thin side with a watery feel. Other than the body, no problems and serviceable without doubt. For the price I have no complaints.

Pours amber into a shaker. White head with medium retention. Pumpkin, nutmeg and cinnamon aromas. Medium bodied with sweet pumpkin upfront turning to holiday spices before the mild bitter finish.
