Sure, it’s a pumpkin beer so it tastes a lot like everything else that is pumpkin spiced. But Pumpkin Beer for Cafés gains a sweet, nutty, and earthy twist from cold brewed red rooibos (pronounced roy-bows) tea and vanilla beans in an already chewy base beer heavy in unmalted grain.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark orange to copper color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: herbal tea, light pumpkin flesh, some vanilla, light cinnamon and an even lighter dose of allspice
Flavor: wraps the prior noted aromas to a sweet to spicy sort of blend; finishes with the vanilla, herbal tea and pumpkin
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but also some dryness as the spices also nick the tongue as I expected them to
Overall: interesting concept for a pumpkin ale and honestly, I liked it and would come back to this if given the chance.

Pour kind of looks like a hazy IPA. Aroma is some herbal tea and vanilla. An odd combo. Flavor is an herbal spiced black tea with some vanilla and cinnamon. This was all over the place. Not much pumpkin but plenty of tea and spice.
