A wonderfully spiced nose and a beautiful orange color lead into this perfectly balanced beer. Just the right amount of molasses, pumpkin, squash and pumpkin pie spice make this a must have for the pumpkin beer lover. If you like pumpkin pie and beer, you must give this a try!

On tap at the brewery 10/3/15. Taste is pumpkin, very light spice, not sweet. Boring, but at least not overly sweet like some of these pumpkin beers can be.

22oz bottle. Poured a clear orange-copper color with a small off-white head. Aroma was mostly pumpkin notes, some gourd or perhaps yam notes, maple. Flavor was light spices, but certainly sweet. Cinnamon and nutmeg.

Rich copper and bronze coloured body with a thin off-white head, about a centimetre tall. Aroma of squash, caramel, allspice, cardamom and a bit of earth and mushrooms. Medium-bodied; Very strong, way too pungent metallic twang with hints of blood, iron and just plain bitterness. Aftertaste shows hints of caramel, the faintest bit of spices and a grassy, herbal note that isn’t too pleasant either. Overall, a pretty poor beer, especially from this brewery, which usually produces decent offerings. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Crystal City Wine Shop (20th Street Location) on 30-September-2014 for US$5,99 sampled at home in Washington, a few steps away on 23-October-2014.

Served on draft at the brewpub. Pours a hazy amber color with a medium sized creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of sweet pumpkin notes and pumpkin spice. The taste is earthy with notes of pumpkin and spice. Overall bitter and astringent. Medium bodied.
