Draft at the brewery taproom. Pours mostly clear, amber-gold with a big, off-white foam head. The nose is all autumnal spices and pumpkin bread. Medium sweet is the flavor with strong spicing, dry nutmeg, cinnamon and toasted bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly drying to finish with further cinnamon, pumpkin bread, mild leafy bitterness, faint wood. Good balance. Nice. I like a nice, festively-spiced pumpkin beer and this one delivers.

Keg at the Warburton Street taproom, 19/11/13. Hazed golden amber with a moderate off white covering. Nose is spiced fruits, pumpkin aroma, light ginger, bitter orange, toffee apple, cardoman seed, cinammon. Taste comprises pumpkin pie, spice, toffee, dark fruit tang. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry lightly spiced finish. Decent pumpkin affair.
