12 oz. bottle from Aldi. Pours a clear dark garnet color with a beige head and very good retention. Scattered lacing. Dark fall spices aroma. The taste follows the nose: Dark spices followed by some sweet caramel malts in the finish. Not over-spiced. Tastes like a mix of pumpkin beer and amber lager. A nice take on the style. Medium body. Low carbonation with a slick texture. Not bitter. Better than I expected.

Bottle from my local Aldi: Clove, cinnamon, ginger nose. Cloudy brown, thin head. Heavy clove, allspice. Medium body, easy carbonation. Aldi brands are always super affordable and usually drinkable but not very good. This was slightly more expensive, but still very affordable and it tastes quite good. The spice proportions are very much to my liking. If I wasn't a ticker, this would be my pumpkin spice beer of choice for the value.
