I thought this was a Belgian styled pumpkin ale, so this was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a slight copper color with a subtle transparency about it. Some carbonation could be seen rising at a moderate pace. Foamy white head quickly dissolved. Not much lace.
The aroma had some breadiness, somewhat dark and sweet with a touch of clove, ginger and grassy hops. Leather and floral hop character flow into some cereal sweet grains and then some light pumpkin sweetness rounded it all out.
The flavor was somewhat sweet through the prior mentioned tastes. The spices really don’t coincide too much. Aftertaste leaned towards the sweet side and so was the finish.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. Spice harshness was there, adequate. ABV felt fine.
Overall, not sure why Evil Genius retired this one. And apologies for the late upload, but this was one of the examples that Evil Genius can actually brew decent beer.

12 oz. bottle from Beer Haven. Clear yellow color with active carbonation. Nose is yeast and a light spice. Taste is thin with clove; pale malt and a light spice that I would like to call cinnamon. Has a light tanginess. Mouthfeel is effervescent. Ok.
